FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group generated a net decrease in funds of £32,037, driven by a loss from commercial trading activities. While unrestricted reserves stand at £58,499, the trustees note that the bulk of the charity's reserves are tied up in non-liquid leasehold property, limiting available cash resources. The trustees highlight financial independence as a significant risk, noting that the charity's continued existence depends on securing sufficient future funding to meet core running costs.
