FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a surplus of £2,559.55 for the year ending December 31, 2025, driven largely by a significant increase in grant awards to £12,860, which offset a decline in hire fees. Total income rose to £36,266.28, while total expenses increased to £33,706.73, resulting in a positive balance sheet with cash and bank accounts totaling £28,545.51. Despite the technical surplus, the trustees note operational fragility due to reliance on grants and declining core hire income.
