Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £45,762, which the trustees describe as a 'healthy final cash position' representing 8.4 months of safety cover. This figure sits well above the formally adopted reserves policy target of a £14,500 safety buffer. The filing notes that despite a drop in direct giving, financial health recovered strongly with a projected surplus for the next cycle.
