Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £54,932 for the year, which was largely driven by an £118,463 depreciation charge against designated funds. However, unrestricted general funds showed a surplus of £54,000, allowing total unrestricted reserves to reach £419,000, which exceeds the trustees' target of £400,000. The auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
