Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that free unrestricted reserves of £37,095 are below the trustees' stated policy target of £62,500 (equivalent to six months of fixed running costs). The trustees identified the main risk as being unable to secure sufficient funding, a risk they aim to mitigate through their reserves policy and by ensuring budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient for the charity to continue as a going concern.
