Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £51,992 at the end of the financial year, which is slightly below the trustees' planned target of £52,368. This dip was attributed to using surplus reserves to cover service costs after National Lottery funding ceased, though the trustees report that replacement funding has been secured. The charity confirms it has no funds materially in deficit and is in a good financial position.
