Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves amounted to £1,017,333, though the trustees note these are not freely available as they are tied up in fixed assets. The charity does not have a formal reserves policy and relies on funding from Mr Cameron to cover required expenditure. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the financial statements were materially incorrect.
