Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £1,847 for the year, with unrestricted reserves increasing to £17,105. The trustees note that while this is an excellent result after previous losses, continued deficits are not sustainable and costs must be kept under review. The reserves policy targets approximately 50% of anticipated annual expenditure, which the trustees believe provides sufficient flexibility.
