Financial health, per FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted general funds increased significantly from £43,000 to £1.4 million, driven by the sale of a property which released £1.385 million in cash. Per the trustees' report, this improved liquidity places the charity in a strong position, with net current assets for general funds rising from a deficit of £547,000 to a surplus of £928,000. The charity holds £2.2 million in UK Treasury Bills and reports no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
