Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £12,102, a significant increase from the previous year due to a VAT refund. However, the trustees report that despite a current year surplus, the charity is effectively running at a deficit over the longer term and lacks sufficient reserves to guarantee operations for the next 12 months. The Management Committee notes that securing grant funding is proving difficult in the current economic climate.
