Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that Murmur raised £698,295 in funds with £233,670 being unrestricted, resulting in operational expenditure funds of £138,827 at year-end, which equated to seven months of operating expenditure. The trustees reviewed the financial position monthly to ensure sufficient warning was given if cash levels dropped, viewing this as adequate time to act in a severe financial shock. The charity expects both its team size and grant portfolio to expand in 2025, which will likely increase expenditure and require further reserves.
