Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £27.8k for the year, partly due to one-off expenses and a 13-month wage reporting period. However, the trustees report that subsequent cash flow issues were resolved through operational efficiency measures and fundraising, and they are confident the charity remains a going concern with sufficient cash reserves.
