Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of unrestricted funds of almost £3,000 for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees note that funds remain sufficient to permit the charity to continue in operation in the medium term, given continued support from donors. However, the trustees are concerned about the lack of core funding from statutory bodies, which imposes reliance on general donations and external grants.
