FY2024

The accounts state that the charity recorded a net loss of £104,863.29 for the 14-month period, primarily due to expenditure on an extension project. Per the Treasurer's report, total funds stand at £81,273, but the charity anticipates a further reduction to approximately £22,000 after expected final payments and refurbishment costs, which the trustee describes as 'sufficient for the short term but a lower balance than I would be comfortable with for the longer term.'
