Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £38,756 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by a shortfall in income over expenditure and a fall in investment values. Despite this, unrestricted funds remain substantial at £754,871, though the trustees note the financial outturn is disappointing and requires improvement. The trustees confirm the charity has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
