Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £48,833 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total reserves decreasing from £204,599 to £155,766. The trustees note that the charity is undergoing a strategic transition to transfer its work to a larger charity, The Community Council for Somerset, which was completed in April 2025. Despite the deficit, the trustees confirm that the current level of free reserves is approaching the target level required to continue activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.
