Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit of £606,394 for the year, resulting in unrestricted reserves moving into a liability position of £20,583. The Trustees acknowledge that this overdrawn reserve implies restricted cash resources are being used to fund general expenditure. However, the filing notes that post-year-end fundraising generated £385,000 and additional grants were received, returning unrestricted reserves to a significant asset position.
