Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity faces a critical viability risk, as it may be forced to wind up if new volunteers are not recruited by January 2026. The treasurer reports that previous major fundraising events required significant effort to cover costs, leading to a strategic shift towards spending existing funds rather than organizing new events. The charity relies on a small group of volunteers whose children are leaving the school, creating an urgent succession crisis.
