Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £96,472 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in net assets from £837,225 to £740,753. Free unrestricted reserves fell significantly to £56,297, a level the trustees consider satisfactory against their policy of maintaining six months of operational continuity. The financial position was adversely impacted by the loss of a major contract, though the trustees confirm there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
