Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred an excess of payments over receipts of £45,563 for the 16-month period, driven by significant roof repairs and a lack of rental income from the left wing. To maintain sufficient cashflow, the charity relied on short-term loans from the Martial Arts and Monday clubs. Despite the deficit, the trustees report that unrestricted funds of £67,463 remained above the stated reserves policy target of £10,000.
