Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred a deficit of approximately £12,751 for the year ending March 2025, driven by total payments exceeding receipts. The trustees report that the organization ceased operations in July 2025 due to sustained annual losses and declining membership, noting that bankruptcy was avoided only by taking decisive action. Free reserves stood at approximately £49,702 at the year-end, which were subsequently distributed to remaining clubs after debts were honoured.
