Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity is just about meeting its monthly commitments with a small amount in reserve, though it faces significant financial risks from rising utility costs and the potential burden of a future full repairing lease. The trustees note that they are holding reserves close to their stated policy minimum of three months' running costs and recognize the need to increase fundraising efforts to secure future stability.
What the accounts disclose
“However, we are currently holding reserves close to this minimum level.”
“We continue to keep a very close watch on our funds - reviewing the situation at every meeting - to ensure enough funds would be available for our costs, but gas and electricity prices remain a massive cause for concern, particularly in the light of local authority pressures. In the future a full repairing lease will be a massive financial risk to the association if we are unable to increase revenue streams and successful grant applications.” — page 4
