Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity operated at a running loss of £411.25 for the year, citing the legacy of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis as challenges to fundraising. While unrestricted cash funds total £46,418, the trustees note that funding for large investments and long-term projects remains uncertain.
What the accounts disclose
“Our income from organised events and grants have increased since last year, primarily due to large scale “one off” events such as being nominated by the organisers of 10 Y FAN as their charity of the Year, which we have started to receive funds for and WBMRT’s 60th Anniversary raffle.”
“Whilst we have funds to run the day-to-day activities of the team, large investments such as buying a replacement 4X4 vehicle, long term refurbishment or relocation of our Base HQs and specialised equipment replacement are more uncertain.”
