Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £24,376 for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in a significant decrease in unrestricted reserves to £20,222. The trustees identified a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern due to challenges with grant income and input costs, though they maintain adequate resources for the foreseeable future. The charity's reserves policy aims to cover four months of expenditure, but current reserves cover less than three months.
