Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that free reserves of £62,840 exceed the stated policy target of three months' unrestricted payments (£31,011), providing a healthy foundation for future operations. However, the trustees note that fees, a main income source, fell by around 13% in 2025, a continuing downward trend that is described as a concern. The charity remains solvent with total funds of £855,523, though it acknowledges the uncertain economic climate.
