Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £936,626, which the trustees consider sufficient to cover committed pledges and running costs for the next three years. However, voluntary income dropped significantly from £338,829 to £98,706, and the charity absorbed £490,883 in net cash from operating activities, largely due to increased investment purchases. The trustees acknowledge that securing voluntary income is becoming increasingly difficult.
