Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income exceeded expenditure by £14,171, resulting in total funds of £136,288 at year-end. However, the trustees note that this positive result does not change the trend of the last three years and that escalating costs, particularly electricity, pose a significant financial risk.
