Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved a small surplus of £1,359, bringing total unrestricted reserves to £709,176, though the majority of these assets are tied up in property. The trustees acknowledge net current liabilities of £31,506 but consider the going concern basis appropriate due to continued support from donors and a trustee loan. The charity aims to build free reserves to cover six months of direct costs, a target of approximately £55,000, which it currently does not hold.
What the accounts disclose
“The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis, and the trustees consider this appropriate. There are net current liabilities of £31,506 although £18,505 of current liabilities represent a ‘soft loan from one of its trustees. The charity relies on the continued support of its donors and trustees and consider this support will continue in the medium term.” — page 8
