Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity made a small surplus of £5,881 for the year ended 31 March 2025, reversing a deficit from the previous year. Free reserves of £133,633 are held, which the trustees note cover running expenses by approximately 24.8 months, well above their stated policy of holding at least six months' expenditure. However, the trustees acknowledge that sourcing income remains a significant test due to changing funding landscapes and the cost-of-living challenge.
