Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £32,930 at the end of the year, which the trustees note is above their policy target of approximately two months of unrestricted payments. However, the filing highlights significant financial pressure, noting that income from planned giving is less than half of total annual expenditure and that the immediate replacement of the failed heating system presents a major funding challenge.
