Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net loss of £12,807 for the year, with total income falling to £80,397 from £95,260 in the previous year. Free reserves of £30,834 are explicitly stated by the Trustees to be below their own policy requirement, as they do not meet the need to cover expenses if short-term funding is lost. Despite this, the Trustees maintain a going concern basis, citing adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
