What the accounts disclose
“Grants received in 2024 comprised £650 from the Marsh Charitable Trust, £2,000 from Yapp Charitable Trust, £5,000 from 29th May 1961 Charitable Trust, and £19,580 from the National Lottery Fund.” — page 11
“Last year, we adopted a ‘reserves policy’ which sought to ensure sufficient reserves are maintained to cover the winding up costs should it be desirable or necessary to cease activity. These will be sufficient to cover staff redundancies, utility costs and any professional fees likely to be incurred.” — page 14
