Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income for the year ended 31 August 2025 was £316,067, representing a 14.1% growth from the previous year, driven largely by a significant one-off donation. Expenditure totaled £276,649, resulting in a net surplus, with the trustees noting that unrestricted reserves did not quite meet their stated policy target of 3-6 months of expenditure based on banked income alone, though committed income helped bridge the gap.
