Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total funds increased to £686,499, with unrestricted reserves held at this full amount. The trustees have assessed that reserves should be increased to roughly six months of operational costs, a target which the current unrestricted funds appear to exceed given the total expenditure of £1,052,045. The auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
