Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £255,065 for the year ended 31 December 2025, primarily due to significant expenditure on a new 3G pitch funded by grants. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted funds are in a deficit of £140,684, and the charity's reserves policy target of three to six months of expenditure was not achieved. Despite the deficit, the auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and identified no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue operations.
