Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £9,565 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds to £143,112. The trustees acknowledge that significant sums are needed for the conservation of the Market House and that cash reserves should be husbanded against this likely expenditure. Free reserves stood at £78,110, which the trustees consider appropriate given the nature of the Trust and the upcoming conservation work.
