Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds indicate a loss of £8,663 before investment gains, a figure described as unsustainable. The trustees note that rising expenditure outweighs rising income, creating a shortfall that must be met by increased regular giving. However, the charity received a £282,000 unrestricted bequest during the year, which has been reserved for specific projects rather than day-to-day running costs.
