Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £830,699, which the trustees consider sufficient to cover liabilities for at least 12 months. The charity reported a net movement in funds of a deficit of £30,502 for the year, driven largely by a £79,899 operating deficit at its Linnet Clough campsite. Despite this, the trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
