Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net outgoing of £2,794 for the year, reducing unrestricted reserves from £14,147 to £11,353. The trustees report that increasing utility and maintenance costs have negated the benefit of higher lettings income, describing these rising costs as a serious concern. Despite this, the management committee confirms the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
