Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a deficit in 2024, with payments exceeding receipts by approximately £3,000 even after adjusting for timing differences. Consequently, unrestricted reserves were eroded from around £10,000 at the start of the year to approximately £6,500 by year-end. This level is significantly below the PCC's stated policy target of maintaining reserves equal to at least three months of unrestricted payments, equivalent to circa £21,000.
