Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity is in a stable financial position, operating within budget with a closing running balance of £3.5k.

What the accounts disclose
“Our membership income increased by 23%. This is mostly due to having continually full groups & waiting list. As anticipated, our costs to group increased also to absorb most of this increase.” — page 5
“We have raised a large amount of the money required to complete the project and want to say a huge thanks to Avon County for their very generous donation of £30k to support this project. They have also agreed a further £30k loan to the group to get us a step closer.” — page 5
“Yate town council also gave us a grant of £5k which was used towards the costs of having the asbestos removed from the soffits over the summer holidays so a huge thanks goes to them for their support.”
