Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £49,207 for the year ended 30 June 2025, driven by lower donations and an unrealised investment loss. Despite this, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £1,295,732, which the Trustees consider adequate for its purposes. The charity is not dependent on future funding to continue as a going concern, as it has adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
