Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased to £11.5m from £18.3m in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a large one-off investment distribution. Despite this reduction, unrestricted reserves increased to £30.4m, significantly exceeding the trustees' stated policy target of maintaining one year's scaled-down grant-making programme.
