Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net movement in funds of £76,920 for the year ended 31 March 2023, a significant decrease from the previous year's surplus of £1,577,081, primarily due to an actuarial loss of £67,000 on its pension scheme. The trustees report that unrestricted reserves stood at £3,932,257, which they describe as looking 'very healthy' against an estimated annual cost of £600,000, although they note the liquidity of these reserves is affected by the holding of significant property assets. The auditor confirmed that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future with no material uncertainties identified.
