Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £209,263 at the year end, a figure the Chair attributes largely to COVID funding and the sale of premises rather than active fundraising. The document notes that the charity has historically been frugal and lived within its means, with no requests for funding consideration made from the surplus to date. The Chair confirms that resources are adequate and there is no indication of financial distress.
