Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity experienced an 18% reduction in income due to a Charity Commission enquiry, which necessitated the use of reserves to maintain service delivery. Consequently, unrestricted reserves fell to £127,564, a level the Trustees explicitly consider below their target. The auditor confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
