Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's activities are flourishing with high attendance and waiting lists for some events. However, the trustees report that the hall's income was negatively impacted by the failure of a pre-school tenant, which left a bad debt requiring legal action. Despite this, the hall continues to be successfully hired out for various activities.
