Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated with no senior staff members and reported a net surplus of £8,807 for the year, resulting in total unrestricted reserves of £12,107. However, the trustees report that the organization faced significant challenges due to the cost-of-living crisis and a lack of successful grant funding, which forced them to provide only minimum services. The charity's policy on reserves is to build reserves to ensure core activities can continue during unforeseen difficulties, though the current year showed no free reserve in the specific context of that policy statement despite the positive balance sheet position.
