Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £61,584 for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in free reserves of £35,516. The trustees consider this level of free reserves to be below the level required for long-term resilience and plan to revise their formal reserves policy to rebuild unrestricted funds. The charity remains a going concern supported by secured grant funding and active financial management, though it faces ongoing volatility in costs and funding cycles.
