Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Society ended the year with general reserves of £387, which the Trustees described as disappointing. However, a Gift Aid claim of £3,800 received in September 2025 significantly bolstered the Society’s general reserves. The Trustees note that due to the uneven nature of receipts and payments, reserves are sometimes lower than desired, but they are actively seeking additional donors and grant income.
