Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £282,648, a decrease from £289,958 in the prior year, while the trustees do not maintain a specific reserves policy target beyond ensuring operational continuity. The charity reported a net expenditure of £7,310 against total income of £65,135, resulting in a reduction in net assets. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the financial statements were materially non-compliant.
