Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

Despite the deficit, the trustees consider the charity to be in a healthy financial position with unrestricted reserves of £1,122,094, which significantly exceeds their stated policy target of six months' expenditure. The auditor confirmed that the financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis with no material uncertainties identified.
