Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net movement in funds (expended) of £16,393 for the year, with unrestricted reserves falling to £235,300. The independent examiner has identified a material uncertainty relating to going concern, noting that the charity is dependent on continued financial support from the Founder/Trustee and that reserves are currently inadequate to meet operational deficits and property maintenance risks. The trustees acknowledge significant doubt regarding the charity's continued operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: three months of budgeted operational expenditure plus redundancy liability (held: £235k)
“The Trustees have established a reserves policy whereby the Charity’s unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, i.e. the “free reserves”, held by the Charity should equate to a target level equivalent to three month’s budgeted operational expenditure for year ended 31 August 2026, plus an estimate of the current liability for redundancy pay for existing staff. The revised reserves target level is calculated at £119,000 at 31 August 2025.” — page 7
