Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that free reserves increased to £1,036,966, equating to 2.7 months of reserves, which is below the trustees' implicit target of maintaining sufficient flexibility, though the previous year was 3.1 months. The trustees report that assets remain adequate to meet aims and obligations, and the independent auditor confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy
“Free reserves have increased to £1,036,966 from £843,811 during the year due to very positive investment performance. This equates to 2.7 months of reserves compared to 3.1 months last year. Whilst the current level of reserves may prove sufficient, it is the view of the trustees that it would be prudent to ensure that there are sufficient reserves to provide financial flexibility over the course of the forthcoming year and any challenges that may be faced by the company.”
