Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a net incoming resource of £116,319 for the year, driven significantly by £210,803 in legacy income. However, the trustees note that this legacy income is inherently unpredictable and unreliable, and actual free reserves of £1,178,565 fell short of the stated policy target of 9 months' expenditure.
