FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure loss of £17,607 for the year ended 31 July 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted funds from £94,090 to £76,483. The trustees consider the charity to be a going concern, citing projections of a strong tailwind towards a decrease in financial pressure and an overall profit for the coming year. Reserves have fallen below the charity's stated policy threshold of 25% of annual turnover, prompting the board to agree to modest budgetary changes and waive the limit for that financial year.

Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: 1/3 of annual turnover (reserves figure: £76k)

“In general, the JCR will aim to hold an amount roughly equivalent to 1/3 of its annual turnover in reserve each year. Should the budgeted or actual reserve amount in a given financial year fall below 25% of annual turnover or exceed 40% of annual turnover, the Trustee Board will consider and pass a resolution as to whether or not budgetary changes need to be made.” — page 6
