Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded an operational deficit of £325,649 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves to £186,818. The Trustees note that current reserves fall short of their stated policy target of three months of critical expenses (£375,000), but they have a reasonable expectation of continuing as a going concern supported by a principal funder's commitment to cover future deficits.
