Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £81,234 for the year ended 31 March 2025, primarily due to the cessation of contractual income and reduced fundraising, although this was partially offset by a £170,000 legacy gift. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £1,257,118, which is slightly below the stated target of £1,300,000 but above the minimum policy level of £1,100,000. The auditor confirmed that the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis with no material uncertainties identified.
