Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a surplus of £36,117 for the year ended 31 July 2025, with unrestricted funds totaling £134,867. The trustees report that rising facility hire costs mean the club operates at a deficit on its core activities, making the Blaydon Race essential to financial sustainability. Reserves are maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure, which the trustees consider sufficient to continue activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.
