Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total funds decreased from £75,456 to £62,067, driven by a net expenditure exceeding income. The trustees' report notes that reserves are diminishing and identifies the failure to obtain adequate funding as the main risk, though the charity has secured new National Lottery funding starting in July 2025.
