Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased to £26,383, which the trustees consider sufficient to maintain operations for three to six months of expenditure. However, the trustees report a difficult financial year characterized by high running costs, specifically gas bills and damage, leading to a decrease in bank balance. The charity acknowledges significant future capital expenditure risks regarding heating and drainage systems but confirms it has adequate resources to continue as a going concern.
