Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's total funds decreased from £993,747 to £939,520 during the year, driven by a net outgoing of resources before revaluations of £125,300. This decline was primarily due to charitable donations of £120,820 and a reduction in the investment portfolio value, partially offset by investment income of £27,354. The trustees report that the funds are wholly unrestricted and intend to continue providing grants, with a view to winding up the trust over the next few years.
