The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £9,753 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by exceptional expenditure on hall repairs and a decrease in total income. Despite this deficit, unrestricted reserves (cash funds) stood at £22,879, which the trustees confirm is sufficient to meet their stated reserves policy of covering six months of regular expenditure plus project costs.
