FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £41,466.87 at the end of 2025, a figure the Treasurer describes as 'still high' but notes will 'rapidly dwindle in 2027' once a key grant from the Joseph Rank Trust ends. The charity reported a surplus for the year and maintains a committed supporter base, though it is actively seeking alternative funding streams to replace the expiring grant income.
