Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that receipts significantly exceeded payments, resulting in a surplus of £18,331 for the year ended 31 March 2025, compared to a deficit of £12,286 in the previous year. This improvement was driven by a £20,562 transfer from the APC and increased VAT recoveries. The trustees note that while reserves are being built up for maintenance and a thatch reserve, they must proceed with caution due to rising operational costs.
