Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves decreased from £13,945 to £10,241 as expenditure exceeded income by £3,704. The directors acknowledge this reduction but conclude that reserves remain sufficient and above the policy target of three months' regular expenditure. They express confidence that measures to reduce expenditure will stabilize the financial situation.
What the accounts disclose
“The Charity’s reserves policy is to have a general fund reserve at least equal to 3 months of its regular expenditure.” — page 3
“The directors are aware that the expenditure for the year is again higher than the income and therefore the reserves have reduced. However they are taking further steps to reduce expenditure and are confident that, with the measures being taken, the financial situation can be stabilised. They have concluded that they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
