Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a loss of £35,599 for the year ended 31 August 2025, driven by increased staff costs and lower income from government-funded places. Per the trustees' report, the overall financial position was weak with reserves of £26,356, which is below the stated policy target of three months of operating costs. The trustees expressed caution about the future due to reliance on static funding and rising costs, though they decided to continue operations based on community support.
