Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £8,215 for the year, reducing its unrestricted funds from £27,172 to £18,957. The independent examiner qualified the report, citing poor financial administration, late record-keeping, and ongoing cash-flow issues as significant concerns. The trustees aim to build three months of reserves, but this remains a goal due to the current funding regime.
