Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £20,611 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total reserves from £62,678 to £41,950. The trustees attribute this financial decline to the loss of main hall hirers and instability in funding for play projects and the food hub. Despite these challenges and increased current liabilities, the trustees confirm there are no concerns about the charity continuing as a going concern.
