Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £231,446.75 at the end of the financial year. However, the trustees note that this balance is likely to decrease significantly due to forthcoming increases in the National Living Wage and National Insurance payments. The charity's expenditure exceeded its income for the year, resulting in a transfer to reserves.
What the accounts disclose
“Whilst we maintain a healthy bank balance it must be noted that with the forthcoming increase to the National Living Wage and also the rise in National Insurance payments in April 2025 this figure is likely to be much less moving forward.” — page 6
