Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's net assets rose from £164,000 to £230,000 largely due to £62,000 in legacies, resulting in a healthy level of reserves. However, the trustees note that the significant drop in income from giving is of concern, with total giving reducing by £8,300. The General Fund was in deficit by £11,800, contrasting with the previous year's near balance.
