Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity operated at an underlying revenue deficit of £52,068 in 2024, primarily due to the start-up phase of the Courts capital project and a challenging fundraising environment. Free reserves were significantly below the stated policy target, standing at £146,257 against a required minimum of £660,600, owing to exceptional capital expenditure. However, the trustees have set a breakeven budget for 2025 and the auditors confirmed no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
