FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus of £26,546 for the year ended 31 December 2025, improving on the previous year's deficit. The trustees acknowledge that rising operating costs and infrastructure works have adversely affected reserves, which are currently below the internal policy target of £1,250,000. Despite investment income being insufficient to cover operating costs, the Trust remains in a strong financial position and is considered a going concern.
