Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an operational deficit of £362k for the year, driven by a decrease in unrestricted funds and investment losses. To address this, the trustees support continuing an operational deficit in the next financial year, funded from designated reserves, to support the implementation of a new five-year strategy. The charity maintains unrestricted reserves of £4.18m, including £3.04m in designated funds, which the trustees consider sufficient to manage risks and ensure continuity of service delivery.
