Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net expenditure of £7,439 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total net assets. The trustees explicitly stated that their free unrestricted reserves of £11,250 are not adequate to meet 3 to 6 months of expenditure, and they are actively seeking to raise more funds. The primary risk identified by the committee is a lack of funding, which threatens the continuity of the organisation.
