Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity operated at a loss of £10,799 for the year, absorbing the deficit from cash reserves which fell to £2,300, while capital reserves remained untouched at £57,222.42. The trustees report that while the risk of insolvency has been mitigated beyond six years, the charity faces significant financial resilience risks due to rising costs and declining donations. The filing notes that maintaining the facility and securing a sustainable future remains a significant challenge requiring increased revenue sources.
What the accounts disclose
“61% of our gross income is derived from Regular hirers that use the facilities each week, month or other such interval to run clubs, Wellness clinics, drama Groups and Choirs.” — page 9
“In the event the reserves are insufficient to support operations for the immediate 3 years, the treasurer is to advise all Trustees as soon as possible. Trustees are to develop remediation plans to return the reserves to the 3-year threshold.”
“In early 2025, we would have said a significant risk to the future of the Centre was the risk of insolvency within 3 years. We are glad to report that your Management and Trustees have mitigated that risk and pushed it out to beyond 6 years.”
