Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £35k for the year ended 31 December 2025, a reversal from the previous year's surplus. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £624k, which is below the stated policy target of three months of unrestricted expenditure, though trustees consider this sufficient to meet current commitments. The charity notes increasing volatility in external funding, including the early closure of a major UK government project, but maintains that resources are adequate to continue operations.
