Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's finances remain in a healthy state, with unrestricted reserves of £58,797 representing 13 months of running costs. The trustees consider this level of free reserves to be reasonable and above their policy target of six months' expenditure, although £10,000 has been designated for future accessibility improvements. The charity is subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit due to its gross income being below £25,000.
