Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a loss of £24,340 for the year ended 31 March 2025, primarily due to a four-month building closure for refurbishment. Per the Treasurer’s report, unrestricted reserves (cash) declined from £67,511 to £56,119, and the charity acknowledges that cash resources are being significantly impacted by cost overruns and supplier price increases. The trustees note that spending must be strictly controlled to maintain viability given the deteriorating cash position.
