Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £38,372 for the year ended 30 June 2025, with total unrestricted reserves of £575,617. The trustees confirm that these unrestricted reserves are maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure, satisfying their stated reserves policy. However, the charity holds significant restricted funds (£2,493,806) largely tied to the fair value of its programme-related investment (the sports ground site) and has substantial short-term creditors of £1,844,283, primarily due to a loan from a related party.
