Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £158,173 for the year ended 30 June 2025, with total reserves standing at £6,380,388. The trustees note that free reserves exceed their stated policy target of maintaining 6 to 12 months of unrestricted expenditure. However, the audit opinion is qualified due to an inability to verify the fair value of investment property.
