FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £5,969 for the year ending 31 December 2025, driven by a drop in planned giving and a significant deficit in the Lewis Carroll Centre operations. While unrestricted bank reserves fell to £17,884, the total unrestricted funds including investments stood at £74,866, which the trustees confirm is sufficient to meet their stated policy target of £45,000. However, the 2026 budget forecasts a further deficit of £15,760, indicating ongoing financial pressure that requires sustained fundraising efforts.
