Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity finished the year with a small deficit of £1,539, resulting in unrestricted funds of £46,271. The trustees note that the most significant area of uncertainty for the coming year is the level of donation income required to fulfill their programme of events. Despite the deficit, the charity maintains a financial cushion to meet unforeseen expenditure and closedown costs.
