Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the financial position of the Foundation at the year-end was sound, with net assets totaling £2,423,228. However, the charity reported a net decrease in the value of all funds of £45,567 for the year, primarily driven by macro-economic factors and stock market variations affecting its investment portfolio. The trustees remain satisfied that the diversification of the investment portfolio minimizes financial risk and that future income streams are being enhanced.
