Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved a surplus of receipts over payments of £6,856 for the year ended 31 August 2025. Free/unrestricted reserves, represented by bank balance and cash in hand, increased to £19,891 from £13,035 in the prior year. The trustees maintain a reserves policy to meet cash flow requirements, which appears adequately funded given the positive surplus and growing cash position.
