Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net income of £42,866 for the year ended 30 June 2025, with unrestricted funds increasing to £625,710. However, the trustees note that this balance falls below their stated reserves policy target of at least £300,000, although the text contains a contradiction by stating the figure is below the level determined while being numerically higher than the target. The trustees are aware of the need to improve profitability to address this gap.
