Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £13,531 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in total funds decreasing to £344,335. The trustees' report notes that the charity's reserves policy is to cover six months of operating costs, and while the current target is being achieved, there is continued uncertainty regarding income sources. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the accounts were materially non-compliant.
