Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a significant deficit in its general funds for 2024, primarily due to an increased contribution to the national Giving to Grow Fund and higher energy and fabric costs. The deficit was funded from unrestricted reserves, which now represent approximately 26 months of expenditure. The trustees warn that a similar deficit is likely in 2025 due to ongoing income and expense imbalances.
