Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £393,819 for the year ended 31 March 2024, resulting in a reduction of free unrestricted reserves to £460,368. The trustees note that these reserves are well below their stated policy target of six months' operating costs, citing a difficult financial year with rising costs and decreased legacy income. Despite this, the trustees remain confident in their ability to continue as a going concern, supported by statutory income and planned fundraising efforts.
