Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted funds of £19,005,000, but free reserves after accounting for long-term bank borrowings and pension assets were negative at £810,000. This negative position is attributed to large capital projects that effectively turned free reserves into fixed assets, though the trustees plan to improve free reserves in the next period. The governors recognize the need to hold minimum reserves of £3 million, equivalent to one term's worth of costs.
