Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated with a deficit budget and insufficient reserves during the year, citing uncertainty over income. However, an intensive stewardship campaign allowed the charity to reduce the deficit slightly and set a balanced budget for the following year. The trustees are now focused on rebuilding reserves and developing a sustainable investment plan.
