Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's free reserves are in a deficit of £919,045 as of 30 June 2025, a worsening position from the previous year's deficit of £126,886. However, the trustees report that the charity does not need to maintain significant free reserves because it is funded by its expendable endowment fund, which holds total funds of £4,983,277. The independent auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate and identified no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue operations.
