Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity made a small net surplus of £633 for the year ended 30 June 2025, with total funds carried forward of £112,695. The trustees report that the company remains secure in the medium term and has healthy financial reserves to continue operations. However, the trustees note that the price of new buses is well beyond operational surplus, making substantial external capital grant funding crucial for maintaining a viable fleet.
