Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £163,524 for the year ended 31 December 2024, resulting in a decrease in total reserves from £1,434,386 to £1,270,862. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm that the charity's strong reserves position and contingency planning are sufficient to allow it to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months, although a material uncertainty exists regarding its planned relocation out of the UK. The charity maintains unrestricted free reserves of £958,509, which exceeds its stated policy target of £700,000.
