Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that the charity recorded a small overall surplus of £770 but utilized unrestricted reserves to cover a deficit in those specific funds, leaving unrestricted funds at £14,864. The trustees explicitly note that this level of unrestricted funds is insufficient to meet their stated policy target of three months' staffing costs. Consequently, the organization is actively seeking to recruit a CEO and secure additional funding to rebuild reserves and ensure financial sustainability.
