Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £1,786,154, a decrease from the prior year's £1,857,775, driven by a net loss on investments and charitable expenditure exceeding income. The trustees maintain that these reserves are sufficient to protect current activities and meet day-to-day responsibilities, citing a policy to maintain high reserve levels to maximize grant funding through investment income. The charity reports no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
