Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a net profit of £10,128 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total income of £341,539 exceeding total payments of £331,411. However, the independent examiner noted that the accounts do not fully comply with normal accounting standards and that there is an unreconciled difference within capital and reserves, likely attributable to reserves brought forward from the previous year.
