FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £9.2m for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by property disposals and a favorable pension actuarial movement, despite an operating deficit of £0.6m. Unrestricted reserves increased to £14.3m, placing them above the trustees' stated target range of £10m to £13m, while cash holdings exceeded the upper threshold of the £14m-£18m target range due to timing of payments.
