Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group reported a net reduction in funds of £3.4m for the year, primarily driven by a £1.7m loss on the revaluation of investment property and a £3.1m expense related to an increase in the pension deficit. Despite these charges, the group maintained a strong net asset position of £142.76m, with the Trustees confirming adequate resources to continue as a going concern.
