Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £103,634, which the trustees consider sufficient to sustain operations for at least 12 months. The charity reported a net increase in total funds for the year, driven by investment gains and income exceeding expenditure in the Church and Educational funds, despite a net expense in the Hardship fund.
