THE ARCHER TRUST
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased to £4,185,477, driven largely by a £1,282,074 legacy from the estate of late trustee Catherine Archer. The trustees note that the death of Mrs. Archer means the trust no longer receives annual donations from her, and they have acknowledged that the current level of grants is not sustainable in the long term without further investment returns or donations.
