Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £10,729 for the year, driven largely by a significant legacy, though routine operations showed a loss of £1,771. The trustees confirmed free reserves of £42,000 at year-end, which they deemed appropriate against a policy target of 12 months of budgeted expenditure. While the charity remains a going concern, the trustees noted risks regarding declining membership and the long-term sustainability of subsidizing the annual holiday.
