FY2026

Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity delivered a net surplus of £3,972.18 for the year, driven largely by exceptional income from a grant and the sale of handbells. However, the underlying trading position showed a deficit of £1,154.59 when these exceptional items were excluded, indicating that regular operational income was insufficient to cover ongoing costs. Free reserves stood at £30,402.43, which exceeds the stated policy target of maintaining 6 months to 2 years of operating costs.
