Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £15,801 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £311,881 to £296,080. The trustees confirm the charity will be trading within the next twelve months, noting that while free reserves are below the stated policy target of three months' routine expenditure, The Vine Fellowship provides ongoing support and has surplus reserves sufficient to meet the shortfall. The charity operates with no paid employees, relying on volunteers and a wholly owned trading subsidiary for property management.
