Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with net current liabilities of £103,412, a significant deterioration from the previous year's position. However, the trustees consider going concern not to be an issue because a substantial portion of these liabilities consists of an interest-free loan from a trustee who has confirmed they will not demand repayment.
