A surplus of £33,372 (2023: surplus of £31,042) on the General Fund account was achieved in the year. The market value of investments decreased over the 12 months by £475 (2023: increase of £21,576). The sale of the property realised a surplus of £90,028. These movements resulted in the balance on the General Fund of £705,079 at 31 March 2024 increasing to £828,004 at 31 March 2025.
The Trustees are considering the future of the Trust following the transfer of all its properties, and are currently in discussion with the trustees of Britain Yearly Meeting with a view to donating its funds to Britian Yearly Meeting so as to provide financial support to older members and attenders of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain.
We are grateful to Keith Barnes for agreeing to act as Independent Examiner.
