Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's financial position strengthened with an increase of £14,104 in cash funds during the period. However, the trustees identify the challenging funding landscape as a main uncertainty, specifically noting the need to renew or replace the Trinity Buoy Wharf Trust grant which expires in 2027. Reserves held are reported as £4,645, which the trustees intend to maintain at a level covering three months of key expenses.
