Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the fund made an accounting surplus, though this is attributed to the depreciation of the new playground asset rather than cash availability. In cash terms, total receipts of £134,554 slightly exceeded payments of £129,230 over the two-year period, and the year-end bank balance was £38,672. The trustees note that future commitments, including £14,468 for solar panels, are already identified.
