Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total free reserves amounted to £105,937, representing approximately four months of operational expenditure, which the trustees consider an appropriate level against their policy target of 3 to 6 months. While the General Fund showed a deficit for the year, the overall unrestricted funds remain sufficient to meet ongoing commitments, though the trustees note continued pressure from increased utility costs.
