Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group's income and expenditure are very small, leading to a low-risk investment strategy where all funds are held in cash. The trustees maintain a reserves policy target of £20,000 to ensure continuity of activities should income fall short. The group relies on subscriptions and hall hire for income and holds a reserve in a deposit account to mitigate risks such as reduced income or loss of volunteers.
