Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £35,000, which the trustees designate to cover potential loss of income or significant unforeseen expenditure. The charity's net assets increased during the year, supported by higher-than-budgeted income from hall hirers, particularly the nursery. However, the trustees report an urgent concern regarding trustee recruitment, noting that failure to resolve this could lead to the closure of the village hall.
