Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £4,086,692, a decrease from the previous year's £4,453,677, driven by an unrealised investment loss of £401,862. Despite this loss, the charity reported an operating surplus of £34,877 and maintains sufficient funds to meet management, administration, and grant-making costs. The trustees confirm that these reserves do not impact the assumption that the charity is a going concern.
