Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a financial deficit of approximately £26,000 for the year, driven by expenditure exceeding income. However, the trustees confirm that total reserves stood at £242,000, which they consider sufficient to meet their policy target of covering one quarter's expenditure and other commitments.

Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Related-party transaction: The document states payments to directors were for expense reimbursements only and no other material transactions occurred. SFI is a related party via the Sports Ministry Fund but the specific payment is disclosed as a service contract, not explicitly labeled as a 'related party transaction' in the sense of director control, though Note 13 excludes director payments. Note 10 mentions SFI payment. Note 13 says 'No other material transaction took place between the Charity and a director or any person connected with them.' SFI is not explicitly linked to a director in the text provided, only that Mark Blythe (RCT member) coordinates work. Thus, no explicit related party *transactions* with directors are disclosed beyond expense reimbursements.
“All payments received by the directors and related parties during the financial year, were for reimbursements of expenses incurred in furthering the Charity's objects. No other payments were made to directors or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No other material transaction took place between the Charity and a director or any person connected with them.” — page 27
