Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £5,000 at the end of the period, a figure the trustees note is more than needed to close the charity. Financial sustainability is currently dependent on a large donation and other revenue, with the trustees actively seeking to change their membership model to reduce reliance on donations.
What the accounts disclose
“We are keeping £5,000 as a reserve though this is more than we would need to close our charity”
“We have continued to function due to a large donation this year which should cover 2025 operations along with other revenue. However, we are urgently looking at changing our membership model to be more sustainable without donations.”
