Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £39,200 for the year, resulting in a significant decrease in total funds from £51,122 to £11,922. The trustees' report indicates a reserves policy aiming for a £6,000 contingency fund, with unrestricted reserves held at £9,060, which is above this specific target but significantly lower than the previous year's unrestricted balance. The independent examiner noted that prior year figures had to be restated due to incorrect reporting of bank overdrafts and fund balances.
