Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £228,020 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total net assets from £1,101,256 to £738,031. The trustees' report notes that unrestricted funds were £181,306, which is above the stated reserves policy target of £150,000, and the trustees are confident they can maintain a solvent organisation for the year ahead. However, the auditor's report highlights that the charity faces financial challenges due to reduced funding and a competitive fundraising environment, with 89% of income derived from two major funders.
