Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted reserves decreased from £527,074 to £411,821 due to significant capital expenditure on property and loans, resulting in a net deficit for the year. The trustees report that operating costs have escalated significantly due to inflation, placing pressure on reserves, though they maintain that funds are sufficient for short-to-medium term operations. The charity relies entirely on voluntary donations and unpaid volunteers, with no professional fundraising activities undertaken.
