Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £11,401 for the year ended 5 April 2025, primarily due to unpaid membership fees, timing differences in event income and expenditure, and a deficit on the Cooper Lane campsite. Despite this deficit, the District held unrestricted reserves of £24,649 at year-end, which the trustees consider sufficient to continue charitable activities should income fall short. The funds are held in cash using mainstream banks or building societies under a risk-averse strategy.
