TBF TRUST
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held free reserves of £120,437 against unrestricted funds of £10,008,005, with total funds increasing by £105,868 to £10,211,061. However, the trustees report that a Charity Commission statutory inquiry has hindered day-to-day functioning and fundraising efforts, while a bank account closure at Lloyds Bank has necessitated reliance on Barclays Bank.
