Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £14,819 for the year, primarily due to roofing contracts, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves to £36,438. The trustees note that reserves are now 'very healthy' due to previous Covid funding, but the charity faces financial pressure from the loss of local authority grants and business rate relief. The organization remains operational on a voluntary basis, with no full-time staff employed.
