Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total funds decreased from £2,830,740 to £2,569,522 due to a net expenditure of £261,218, driven by a £91,937 loss on investments and increased grant awards. The trustees note that dividend income was lower than the £80,000 target, requiring the use of unrestricted funds to cover grants and administrative costs. Reserves are maintained at a level estimated by trustees to be £3m to generate sufficient cash for future grants.
