Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity entered the new financial year with only 25% of its Trusts & Foundations income confirmed, creating a potential shortfall. However, the trustees report that an emergency fundraising campaign is on track to cover immediate operational commitments for the next 6-12 months, leading to a conclusion that adequate resources exist to continue operations. The charity ended the year with a small surplus of £6,352, bringing unrestricted reserves to 92% of its stated policy target.
