Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £25,061 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds falling to a deficit of £104,865. The trustees maintain a reserves policy target of 12 weeks of operating expenditure, but the actual unrestricted reserves are negative, placing them below this policy target. Despite the financial deficit, the trustees and auditors confirm the charity is a going concern with adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future.
