Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that free reserves of £67,048 are slightly below the charity's stated policy target of six months' operating expenses, yet the trustees believe these reserves are sufficient to continue operations. The charity reports a net decrease in funds of £25,223 for the year, driven by investment losses, while noting that reliance on membership income poses a risk due to declining congregational numbers.
