Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Foundation reported a surplus of £14,869,303 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by significant donations of £31,832,923 which exceeded charitable expenditure of £18,797,211. The trustees confirmed adequate resources for future operations, maintaining free reserves of £5,756,102. However, the financial statements carry a qualified audit opinion because the trustees chose not to value the derivative element of a convertible loan, preventing the auditors from verifying potential adjustments to assets or liabilities.
