Financial health, per FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity secured £32.36m of income during the period, primarily through donations and gifts, resulting in a net income movement of £24.08m. The trustees report that the reserves policy of maintaining three months of essential running costs was met, with group cash at the period end being £736k against a required £430k. However, the independent auditor issued a qualified opinion due to overstated tangible fixed assets and investment values, as well as understated creditors in a subsidiary.
