Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £80,484 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total income of £110,001 and expenditure of £190,485. The trustees have assessed that the going concern assumption is no longer appropriate due to the unlikelihood of the charity remaining in operational existence for at least one year. Consequently, unrestricted reserves have fallen to £18,566, which is below the stated policy target of £65,000.
