Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £14,171, which is below the trustees' stated policy target of two to three months' expenditure. The trustees note that previous reserves were hollowed out during the pandemic and that a £15,000 bequest has effectively become reserves, though they project dipping into this fund in the future. Corrective measures, including reduced admin hours and salary, are in place to stabilize funding.
