Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £404,000 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds. The trustees note that actual free reserves (cash and liquid funds) of £12.4 million are below the stated policy requirement of three months' operational expenditure, equating to less than one month of expenditure. However, the directors consider the going concern basis appropriate, citing strong relationships with their lending bank and available undrawn credit facilities.
