Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted net assets were £227,619, which the trustees regard as prudent to cover approximately three months of project expenditure. The charity reported a net decrease in funds of £38,704 for the year, driven by rising costs in Malawi and the cessation of funding from Deloittes. Despite these challenges, the auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting was appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
