Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £105,250 at the year end, which is above its stated policy target of approximately £25,000. The filing notes that this surplus resulted from an under-spend on staffing budgets due to recruitment challenges, but warns that fully staffing the team will consume these carried-forward funds.
