Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of approximately £16,000 at year end, which is below its stated policy target of £22,500 (equivalent to 60 months of running costs). The trustees attribute this shortfall to the need to complete building renovations, a long-term commitment to support local children. The charity relies on volunteers and has sufficient insurance and internal controls in place to manage its operations.
