ETHEL AND GWYNNE MORGAN TRUST
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds substantial net assets of £3,211,725, comprising unrestricted and endowment funds, with a cash balance of £200,189. Per the trustees' report, the reduction in net assets from the prior year is attributed to market downturns at the year-end, which the trustees note have since been reversed and are an expected part of their investment strategy. The charity generated a net expenditure of £161,579 after accounting for investment losses, but maintains a strong liquidity position to support ongoing grant-making activities.
