Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a net deficit on unrestricted funds of £907,000 in 2024, an improvement from the prior year, largely driven by the recognition of a usable pension surplus. The Trustees report that operating deficits are expected to continue but are confident they can be absorbed through managing expenditure, utilizing reserves, and selling surplus property.
