Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net income of £33,546 for the year ended 31 December 2024, with total funds carried forward of £2,050,388. However, the trustees note that the charity has no freely available unrestricted reserves, showing a net unrestricted liability of £(50,404) after deducting fixed assets from unrestricted funds. The trustees consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis, citing a designated sinking fund of £166,989 as sufficient to cover the current shortfall.
