THE RELIEF OF PERSONS SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILL-HEALTH
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred an overall deficit of £59,499 for the year, driven by rising costs, legal expenses, and a loss on investments. Unrestricted reserves decreased to £101,453, which the trustees note is below their stated policy target of holding between 6 and 24 months of normal operating costs. Despite the financial loss and governance challenges, the trustees consider there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
