Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that net incoming resources for the year ended 31 March 2025 were a deficit of £74,832, driven largely by a significant increase in property repair costs to £108,291. Despite this deficit, the charity maintains unrestricted reserves of £20,000, which aligns exactly with its stated policy target of approximately £20,000. The trustees consider the financial outlook positive due to anticipated reduced repair expenditures and increased car park revenue.
