Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's balance as at 25th February 2026 was £16,059.39, following a slight drop in reserves last year. The trustees note that while they are in a 'reasonably good place', they need to 'watch the pennies' and face challenges with maintaining consistent child numbers to balance the budget. The long-term outlook is described as unclear, with income needing to rise in a more realistic way over the next few years.
