Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with unrestricted funds in deficit of £75,783, following a net expenditure of £29,330. The trustees acknowledge that the current level of losses cannot be sustained beyond March 2026 without additional funding, though the parent charity has agreed to support the entity until March 2027. The going concern basis is adopted due to the continued support of the parent charity, Cherrytree, which held significant reserves of £1,654,112 at December 2025.
