Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity remained solvent at year-end despite a significant fall in receipts following the completion of a major lottery-funded project. The trustees report that the charity is substantially dependent on restricted grant income and that concerns for the future have increased due to this dependence, although efforts to attract new funding are underway.
What the accounts disclose
“This continues to be an aspiration as we are substantially dependent on grant income which is usually restricted.”
“Because of the Charity’s ongoing significant dependence on time limited grants there are always uncertainties regarding the future. With the completion of the Lottery funded project (noted above) concern for the future has increased this year.”
