Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income decreased by 17% to £5.7m, primarily due to the absence of a £1.1m legacy donation received in the prior year, resulting in a net deficit of £0.27m before investment gains. However, unrestricted reserves increased to £4.24m, exceeding the Board's policy target of £4.2m, and the trustees confirm adequate resources for going concern.
