Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £4,283 for the year, driven by increased woodland development costs and exceptional expenses, resulting in a reduction of unrestricted reserves from £79,352 to £58,541. The trustees note that while the current reserves are well above their minimum policy target, the deficit suggests reasons to exercise caution moving forward. The charity remains solvent and confident in its ability to continue operations.
