The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £7,576,127 at the year end, which the trustees consider sufficient to allow future grants to be made from investment income. However, the charity reported a net movement in funds of a loss of £3,676,732, driven primarily by a £2,776,221 loss on the revaluation of listed investments. Despite this significant drop in asset value, the auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
