Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the group has unrestricted reserves of £35,424, a decrease from £48,917 in the prior year. The independent auditors have modified their opinion to highlight a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing the low reserve levels and an overdrawn balance sheet position for the parent company. Despite this, the trustees maintain that the group has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future.
