Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that total funds stood at £311,525, with unrestricted reserves significantly above the trustees' target of £30,000. Although expenditure exceeded income by £103,972, the charity drew on reserves to sustain activities, a position the trustees consider manageable in the short term. The sale of an investment property substantially strengthened liquidity, and the trustees remain focused on developing sustainable income streams for long-term resilience.
