Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the group held unrestricted reserves of approximately £50,000 at year-end, which is significantly above its stated policy target of £2,500 (equivalent to four months of running costs). The high reserve level is attributed to savings for the new Head Quarters building, and the independent examiner reported no material matters requiring attention.
