Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity achieved an unrestricted surplus of £0.4m for the year ended March 2025, increasing its unrestricted reserves to £0.8m. Although this figure remains below the stated £1.0m reserve target, the trustees anticipate reaching or exceeding the target by the end of the next financial year.
