Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a deficit of £71,707, primarily driven by a 25% drop in jobs advertising income. However, unrestricted reserves remain healthy at £225,462, which is well above the board's 'Early Warning' reserve limit of £103,078. The trustees confirm that the going concern basis is appropriate as reserves are not forecast to fall below the absolute limit of £37,916 within the next 12 months.
