Objects

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity entered 2026 with total reserves of £58,094.61, following a year-end surplus of £6,639.71. While the financial position is described as stable enough to continue operations, the trustees note that the future remains uncertain and dependent on sustaining regular monthly funding to cover rising core costs. The charity explicitly states it is no longer in immediate crisis but continues to operate with caution due to historical funding deficits and rising expenses.
What the accounts disclose
“Total raised from monthly pledges and sponsorships: £15,742.99”
“At the end of December 2024, income from pledges and sponsorships stood at £1,357.34 per month. By the end of December 2025, this had increased to £2,512.73 per month. Although this remained below our target of £3,500 per month”
“For much of the year, Nibbles Rodent & Rabbit Rescue lived under the very real possibility that we would be forced to close and dismantle the centre in December.”
