The accounts state that the charity's income has risen to around £83,000 per annum following property redevelopment, though funds are currently tied up in this project. Consequently, no grants were made during the year, with £12,000 set aside as a reserve for future activities. The trustees report that the redevelopment aims to increase annual income and financial security to enable greater public benefit in future years.
