Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year of £135,305, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £459,546 to £324,241. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves were £85,164, which is below the stated policy target of not less than three months' running costs (estimated at £200,000). The charity acknowledges it is dependent on funding to sustain its activities and that earned income alone is unlikely to allow projects to continue if funding ceases.
