LIVERPOOL GUILD OF STUDENTS
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the Guild produced a surplus of £41,303 for the year, though it reports net liabilities of £148,562 primarily due to a pension deficit. The trustees consider the Guild to be financially viable and in a stable position, supported by unrestricted funds of £1,769,557 and significant cash reserves. However, the organization remains dependent on the University of Liverpool for block grant funding and building support.
