Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held total net assets of £1,341,538 at the end of the year, with an investment fund valued at £1,149,816. The trustees report a small deficit in the general fund of £50,108 but consider this not to be of concern due to the availability of the investment fund and the timing of grant payments. The charity operates by distributing the surplus of the previous year, maintaining sufficient cash deposits to pay awarded grants.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: distributes surplus of previous year; retains surplus in cash deposits as reserve for distribution in following year; does not require additional reserves (held: £-50k)
“The Charity operates on the basis that it distributes in each year the surplus of the previous year and during the course of a year retains that surplus in cash deposits as a reserve for distribution in the following year; it does not require additional reserves since administrative costs can readily be met out of the monthly investment withdrawal.” — page 4
