The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £964,297 for the year ended 31 December 2023, driven by increased grant-making funded partly from restricted reserves. Despite the deficit, the charity holds substantial unrestricted funds of £18,386,072 and free reserves of £15,160,249, which the trustees consider adequate to continue its charitable purposes. The independent auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
