FY2024

Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small increase in net assets for the year, with total funds rising from £43,272 to £44,366. However, the Elders' report notes that income from regular giving fell below the previous year and finances remain under pressure from rising costs. The charity maintains a reserves policy to cover three months of anticipated expenditure, and the unrestricted reserves of £44,233 are consistent with this target.
