Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £353,491 and total reserves of £1,525,152, which includes £1,155,276 in unrestricted funds. The trustees report that these reserves are sufficient to cover three months' normal operating expenditure as per their policy. However, the document notes a significant risk regarding long-term financial sustainability due to a funding mix where nearly 90% of income is restricted.
