The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £246,431 for the year ended 30 September 2025, driven by a significant decrease in legacy income. Despite reporting net current liabilities of £2,174, the trustees confirmed the charity is a going concern with sufficient resources to meet obligations for at least twelve months. Unrestricted reserves stood at £1,224,023, which the trustees consider sufficient to cover expenses and future grant commitments given the variability of donation income.
