Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the period with a surplus of assets of £22,736.79 and a bank balance of £29,878.50, though this is primarily attributable to restricted grants from Amesbury Town Council and the Wiltshire Towns Fund which are designated for future expenditure. The trustees note that the operating profit of £2,416.79 is linked to utility grants that will cover costs in the next financial year, and they plan to reinvest savings from ceasing management company fees into shop stock and events to drive future revenue.
