Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity made a net surplus of £313,909 during the year, with total unrestricted funds amounting to £8,843,038. The trustees consider it prudent to hold unrestricted free reserves to cover approximately 6 months of running costs, which amounted to over £500,000. The charity remains conscious of its reliance on grant funding and spot-purchase income, noting that increased costs have impacted income levels to a break-even point.
