FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated with unrestricted reserves of £96,983 and restricted reserves of £968, resulting in total net assets of £97,951. The trustees report that reserves were drawn upon to meet salaries and bills during a financially tight period but remain confident they will be rebuilt towards a target of £30,000. The filing notes considerable pressure due to staff redundancy costs and loss of rental income, though regular giving remained steady.
