Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £103,488 for the year, driven by a significant increase in overheads following a relocation and a decline in grant success rates. While unrestricted reserves stand at £118,274, this is below the revised policy target of £150,000, and the trustees note that long-term viability remains uncertain due to fluctuating funding sources.
