Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds increased to £23,755, resulting in a net income of £9,750 for the year. The trustees note that the charity faces financial challenges due to the cost of living crisis and reduced childcare demand, but remain committed to continuing operations under a tenancy at will while awaiting further decisions from Dorset Council.
What the accounts disclose
“The position regarding our Lease remains unchanged from last year. In last year’s report our concern relates to the break clause, which would make us liable for a year’s rent of £6000 in the event we had to terminate the lease. Therefore it is in our best interests in view of the uncertainties surrounding Sandmartins’ future to continue under the umbrella of the Tenancy at Will, which is still the case.”
