Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds ended the year with a small surplus of £5,812, following a deficit in the previous year, driven by strong growth in planned giving and a reduction in the Diocesan Quota. However, the charity's free reserves stood at £14,790, which is explicitly noted as being some way below the stated policy target of up to £100,000. While the trading subsidiary, Trinity Café, incurred a loss and negative equity, the directors expressed optimism for future improvement, and the independent examiner reported no matters requiring attention.
