Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net expenditure deficit of £37,926 for the year, primarily driven by a significant reduction in charitable grants paid compared to the previous year. Despite this deficit, unrestricted reserves increased to £1,900,848, remaining in excess of the trustees' policy target of approximately twelve months' anticipated expenditure. The trustees confirmed the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
