Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted free reserves are £266,263, which the Trustees acknowledge is not sufficient to meet their own policy target of three to six months' expenditure. Consequently, the charity relies on financial support from Truestone Impact Investment Management Limited, a company controlled by a trustee, to ensure continued operation.
