Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £871,572 at the end of the year, an increase from the previous year's £869,315. The trustees consider running costs to be low and have decided that only a small amount of reserves is needed, with the intention to distribute accumulated reserves to fund larger projects in India. The auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and identified no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue operations.
