Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £46,313 for the year, resulting in total funds decreasing to £385,824 from £432,137 the previous year. The trustees attribute this to a 'perfect storm' of staff sickness and reduced funding bid success rates, noting that the charity did not meet its budget targets for the first time in memory. Despite the deficit, the trustees confirm adequate resources for going concern and maintain a reserves policy aiming to cover 3-6 months of operating costs.
