FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit on total funds of £118,036 for the year, with unrestricted funds decreasing from £302,630 to £218,377. The trustees note that the reduction in unrestricted funds arose from the decision to use existing resources to maintain service levels in a challenging economic and fundraising environment. The charity's reserves policy is to maintain unrestricted funds sufficient to cover major risks, principally providing continuing support for three to six months, though the current unrestricted balance of £218,377 is below the estimated cost of three months' support at £250,000.
