Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the Trust's assets did not generate sufficient income to cover costs, resulting in a deficit that was funded by a grant from Lewes District Council. Per the trustees' report, reserves are not retained because the annual grant covers the shortfall between receipts and payments. Consequently, cash and bank balances at the end of the year were zero.
