Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the branch achieved a net surplus of £33,480 for the year ended March 2026, driven by increased grant income and reduced expenditure on building projects. While the branch holds significant total funds (£493,219), the majority are restricted or tied to tangible fixed assets, leaving £74,926 in current assets to cover liabilities for approximately 13 months if funding ceased. The trustees note that long-term sustainability depends on selling premises or reducing costs if funding stops for longer than that period.
