Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £8,379 on its general fund but a surplus of £40,400 on its endowment fund, resulting in total funds of £1,258,295. The trustees report that unrestricted reserves of £29,908 are approximately the level required to cover a year of expenditure. However, the trustees note that a Charity Commission recoupment order and endowment rules limit the amount that can be drawn from investments, making substantial improvements difficult to finance.
