Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net operating deficit of £13,684.50 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by the loss of key income streams and high utility charges. Per the trustees' report, total reserves have fallen significantly to £142.60, a reduction attributed to capital investments and operational disruptions. Despite these financial pressures, the trustees maintain that the charity remains a going concern based on planned recovery actions and steady growth in community participation.
