Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £25,011 for the year ended 31 July 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves decreasing from £59,142 to £34,131. The trustees note that the going concern assumption is dependent on the continuance of support from the charity’s key donor, Lord Kirkham, who provided £200,000 in donations during the year. The charity's reserves policy is to distribute funds to worthy causes as opportunities arise, rather than holding them for a specific period of expenditure.
