Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an operating surplus of £140,000 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by deferred maintenance projects and lower-than-anticipated repair expenditure. However, the trustees' report notes that 2026 is expected to show a significant operating deficit due to increased building project costs and inflation, which are supported by the charity's reserves policy.
