Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall surplus of £4,772 for the year ended 30 September 2023, driven by a surplus on restricted funds of £8,213 which offset a deficit on unrestricted funds of £3,441. Per the trustees' report, net current assets amounted to £12,974, which is outside the stated reserves policy range of £10,000 to £20,000. The trustees attribute the unrestricted deficit to a decrease in donations and note that uncertainties in government funding policies have been considered when setting the reserves policy.
