Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity overspent its income by £7,389 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves from £79,480 to £72,091. The trustees report that this deficit was driven by increased expenditure on public events and a decrease in income from royalties and membership fees. To address the shortfall, the trustees have implemented cost-saving measures including reducing prize and fellowship awards.
