Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of approximately £65,000 at year end, which is above its stated policy target of £25,000 (equivalent to 12 months' running costs). The trustees note that this higher level is due to previous rental income and the cessation of a Christmas post fundraiser, and they have prudently managed funds to cover at least two years of running costs.
