Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the Charity reported a net expenditure of £1,041,813 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds. The Trustees' report notes that free reserves are negative £2,120,517, which is below the stated policy target of six months of annual expenditure, largely due to capital projects financed from existing cash resources. Despite this, the Trustees and auditors confirm the Charity is a going concern with sufficient financial resources and contingency planning to continue operations for at least twelve months.
