Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The Maeldune Trust reported a deficit of £3,097 for the year ended March 2025, a reversal from the previous year's surplus, driven by lower visitor numbers and reduced art sales. Despite the deficit, the charity holds unrestricted net assets of £20,318, which the trustees state is sufficient to provide working capital and safeguard levels of activity in the near future. The accounts note cautious optimism for the current year due to increased sales and grant support.
