Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity relies on annual grants from the Parish Council and the Plowright Trust, noting that without this support it would struggle to continue. The organization faces financial pressure from rising energy costs and vandalism, with a recent fundraising event cancelled at a loss. The trustees highlight that the charity is run entirely by unpaid volunteers who are stretched thin, warning that failure to fill vacant positions could force the closure of the facilities.
