Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of nearly £30,000 for the year, driven by significant capital expenditures such as a pontoon costing over £50,000. The treasurer notes that outgoings are climbing rapidly, necessitating an increase in cadet subscriptions and new uniform contributions to offset costs. Despite these financial pressures, the unit remains functional and is actively fundraising for future building replacement.
