Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Group reported a deficit of £354,437 for the year ended 31 December 2025, an increase from the previous year's deficit, driven by reduced grant funding and inflationary pressures. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted designated funds stood at £4,546,123, which is significantly above the stated reserves policy target of two months' operating costs. The Group maintains a strong cash position of £2,250,379, though cash decreased by £751,000 due to investments in new land.
