Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the trust holds total net assets of £28,527,709, comprising an expendable endowment fund of £28,493,474 and unrestricted funds of £34,235. The trustees consider the unrestricted balance adequate for ongoing liabilities and grant commitments, noting a commitment to maintain reserves in the region of £25,000 to £35,000. The trust relies on the principal donor Stephen Green for expendable endowment donations but aims for the endowment to become self-sustaining through investment returns.
