Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income for the year was £425,677, a significant decrease from the previous year's £988,992, driven largely by a drop in donations. Despite this reduction in incoming resources, the charity maintained unrestricted reserves of £383,242 at year-end, which the trustees consider sufficient for future working capital and project funding. The auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
