Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net operating loss of £277,974 for the year ended 31 October 2024, driven by resources expended exceeding incoming resources. The Trustees acknowledge that based on the current annual deficit, the future sustainability of reserves must be reviewed closely and firm strategic plans put in place to ensure alternative options for income are implemented. Despite these pressures, the Trustees maintain that the current level of reserves is appropriate to respond to immediate challenges and that the charity has adequate resources to remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
