The charity holds no paid employees and relies on voluntary maintenance and regular attenders' contributions for its principal funding. The trustees maintain a guiding objective to keep a minimum of £30,000 in cash balances.
What the accounts disclose

“The Trustees expressed an aim in 2005 of maintaining a minimum of £30,000 in cash balances; this was difficult to achieve in recent years but has been re-affirmed as a guiding objective.”
