What the accounts disclose
“The income of the charity was £59,118 (2024: £1,295,584). All income was derived from investment income since there were no donations to the endowment fund in the year.” — page 12
“Since liabilities for future grant instalments have already been deducted and since the Trustees could at any time authorise further transfers from the Expendable Endowment, they consider that this level of reserves is sufficient to cover anticipated expenditure in the initial months of the year ahead.” — page 12
