Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net marginal loss of £12,137 for the year, resulting in unrestricted funds showing a deficit of £(122,833) against tangible fixed assets. The trustees consider an adequate level of free reserves to be between £40,000 and £60,000, a target which the current unrestricted position does not meet. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm that budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient for the charity to continue as a going concern.
