Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £4,632 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves of £(26,355). The trustees acknowledge that available reserves are at a low level and are below their stated policy target of three months' operating costs. Per the independent auditor's report, there is a material uncertainty relating to going concern due to the charity's reliance on support from its parent charity and the ongoing process to divest the nursery.
