Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a surplus of £24,209 for the year ended 31 October 2025, driven by a 36% increase in general admissions due to hot weather. Unrestricted free reserves stood at £211,670, which the trustees consider more than sufficient to comply with their policy of maintaining three to six months of operating expenditure. However, the trustees note that the longer-term future of the pool requires careful consideration if attendances are not maintained at a satisfactory level in coming seasons.
