Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved an operating surplus of £363,679 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total income rising to £1,283,515. However, the trustees report material uncertainties over future results and cash flows due to increasing core costs, noting that free reserves decreased to 2.4 months of operating costs. Despite these challenges, the trustees maintain a reasonable expectation that resources will be sufficient to continue operations as a going concern.
