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.
What the accounts disclose
