Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased significantly to £1,425,877, driven largely by a legacy provision of £920,035, though the trustees note that the corresponding cash inflow has not yet been realised. The branch continues to operate with a recurring trading deficit, relying on legacy receipts to mitigate the risk of running out of funds in the medium term. Despite this, the trustees confirm that current budgeted income and expenditure levels are sufficient to maintain the charity as a going concern.
