FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Group held unrestricted cash funds of £69,377 at year-end, which the trustees describe as 'healthy' and above the policy target of £8,000, though this includes a £45,000 designated fund for future rebuilding. The charity reported a net deficit of £11,710 for the year, driven by increased premises maintenance costs and higher activity payments, while noting that income from subscriptions and rentals means fundraising is not currently required for operations.
