Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts for the year ending 31.12.25 show a surplus of £117,761.90 after adding a credit balance of £30,074.38. Total assets include significant balances with Leek Building Society (£92,473.95) and Hanley Building Society (£55,362.33). The document does not disclose any liabilities other than the building society balances, which appear to be asset accounts given their placement under 'ASSETS' in the first section, or potentially liabilities if interpreted differently, but the net position is reported as a surplus.
