Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £42,277 for the year, reducing unrestricted funds from £90,800 to £48,523. The trustees report that the bank balance is 'far from healthy' and that losing a major grant source was a 'crushing blow', though they approach the future with optimism. The reserves policy aims for three months' operating costs, but the current unrestricted reserves of £48,523 appear sufficient to meet this target based on the stated annual budget.
What the accounts disclose
