Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall operating surplus of £334,940 for the year, driven largely by the recognition of future grant income under new accounting rules. However, the underlying result excluding these unusual items was an operating deficit of £22,171, and the charity faces a significant financial risk in becoming self-sufficient by 2028 as external funding ends. Reserves are held at 9.7 months of routine payments, which meets the stated policy target of 8 months.
