Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £31,885, resulting in unrestricted funds decreasing from £36,528 to £4,643. The trustees' report attributes this loss to decreased turnover caused by warm weather and increased costs, noting that reserve funds were 'slowly eaten away' and staff were made redundant to stem losses. Per the trustees, the remaining reserves provide 'critical headroom' to rebuild should similar circumstances arise in the future.
