Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a deficit of £224,115 for the year ended 31 March 2025, compared to a surplus in the previous year, driven by inflationary pressures and investment in digital and estate improvements. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £1,703,828, which is below the stated policy target of three months of unrestricted expenditure, although the majority of this balance is tied up in land and buildings. The auditor confirmed that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
