The accounts state that the College recorded a deficit before gains of £2,327k, driven by a decrease in income and higher expenditure compared to the prior year. However, net gains on investments of £11,870k resulted in an overall surplus of £8,077k, increasing total funds to £335,461k. The Trustees confirm adequate resources to continue in operation for at least 12 months, with free reserves sufficient to cover approximately 18 months of expected charitable expenditure in the event of a significant decline in operating income.
