Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased to £3,401,289 from £4,437,834 in the prior year, primarily due to the conclusion of multi-year restricted grants and lower legacy income. Despite a net deficit of £82,747, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £337,096, which the Trustees consider sufficient to meet its policy target of approximately six months of unrestricted charitable expenditure.
