Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a small surplus of £22,453, reversing previous deficits, though this was partly due to paying only 60% of the requested Parish Share and receiving legacies. The Treasurer notes that finances remain tight, with regular giving at £75k, and states that to be sustainable, the charity needs to increase income by at least 50%. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £114,315, which the trustees report equate to around 8 weeks of average expenditure, meeting their policy target of not less than 6 weeks.
