Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £175,370 for the year, driven by an operational loss and unrealised investment losses, resulting in total funds decreasing to £1,094,989. The trustees consider the financial position to remain strong, noting that reserves fluctuate due to the biennial nature of their principal income source from the HIV Congress. They maintain that maintaining grant commitments in line with anticipated income over a two-year cycle represents a prudent approach.
