Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £37,432 for the year, reducing total unrestricted funds to £36,282. The trustees note that while free reserves are well below the policy target of twelve months of fixed costs, ongoing income from lettings and bar takings means the deficit is not an immediate concern, though future fundraising will be needed to sustain operations.
