Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity made a net expenditure loss of £8,833 for the year ended 31 December 2024, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted funds from £152,518 to £143,685. The trustees report that the charity remains a totally voluntary organisation with no wages to pay, and the independent examiner confirmed that no material matters were identified during the examination. The charity maintains a reserves policy of at least six months' expenditure, though the current unrestricted reserves of £143,685 are below the implied target given the recent loss and lack of staff costs.
