EPILEPSY RESEARCH INSTITUTE UK
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total incoming resources decreased to £1.7 million from £3.6 million in the prior year, primarily due to a significant drop in legacy income. Despite this reduction, the charity maintained its grant-giving levels, resulting in a net expenditure for the year and a decrease in total reserves from £4.2 million to £3.1 million. The Trustees remain confident in the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing sufficient liquidity and investment funds to meet current commitments.
