Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves fell to £1,358,675 due to a net reduction in funds and investment losses, though total charity funds remain substantial at £12,014,712. The trustees consider the current level of reserves appropriate to withstand short-term deficits and meet future needs, despite occupancy levels falling during the year. The charity reported a net deficit for the year, largely driven by unrealised investment losses, but maintains a strong financial position supported by its permanent endowment.
