The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £84,463 for the year ended 31 July 2025, compared to a surplus in the prior year, driven by increased charitable expenditure. However, unrestricted reserves stood at £1,378,502, which the trustees confirm is in line with their policy target of maintaining nine-twelve months of costs. The trustees and auditors both confirm there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
