Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is 'asset rich, but cash poor,' with unrestricted reserves of £55,801 against total net assets of £814,900. The trustees report a continuing underlying drain on financial resources, noting that the reported surplus relied on drawing down £35,000 from permanent endowment reserves and external grants to avoid a £30,151 deficit. The charity remains concerned about its cash flow and the high repair costs of its ageing buildings.
