Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held total unrestricted and designated funds of £207,055 at the end of the year, with a surplus of £49,559 generated from receipts of £49,559 against payments of £106,900 (note: the statement shows a surplus calculation resulting in a closing balance of £207,055, derived from an opening balance of £264,397 plus receipts of £49,559 minus payments of £106,900, which mathematically results in £207,056, close to the stated £207,055). The trustees report indicates ongoing maintenance work and improvements to the almshouses, with no mention of financial distress or inability to meet liabilities.
