Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total funds held are significantly higher than ideal, with unrestricted funds exceeding £192,000. The trustees have implemented a financial plan to reduce these reserves through increased entertainment and heritage income while maintaining activities. Aged debt of £6,298.65 remains a concern, although positive action has cleared £4,400 of this debt.
