BRIGHTON TABLE TENNIS CLUB
Brighton Table Tennis Club exists to transform lives by providing positive role models, increasing engagement with education and community and improving health and well-being. The Club not only provides people with positive role models and a place to train, but also with an identity, a sense of belonging and a purpose.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a surplus of £348,050, resulting in total funds of £490,174. However, the trustees report that unrestricted reserves of £34,702 are currently below the stated policy target of £91,000 due to deficits brought forward from previous years. The charity acknowledges a risk that it is reliant on grants and donations, and a fall in this income would impact its ability to continue operations.
