Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that CPRE Norfolk reported a deficit of £23,053 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in a decrease in total charitable funds to £117,963. The trustees note that income from members and fundraising was insufficient to support current activity levels, creating an ongoing need to grow income and membership to reduce reliance on reserves. Despite this, the charity maintains unrestricted reserves and continues its charitable objectives.
