Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £41,664 for the year ended 31 December 2024, resulting in a decrease in total net assets. The trustees consider the current unrestricted reserves of £30,194 to be inadequate against their policy target of three to six months' expenditure, noting that reserves have not been maintained due to commitments to service existing debt. Despite this deficit and low reserves, the independent auditor confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
