Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £43,713 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £441,607 to £397,894. The trustees note that reserves are diminishing and a big fundraising push is underway to support the organisation, particularly as it approaches its centenary in 2024. Financial health is further impacted by an investment of £75,000 in the Seed Co-Operative, which has gone into administration, creating uncertainty regarding recovery.
