Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated an operating surplus before extraordinary items of £11,566, but this was offset by a £222,927 extraordinary item for non-recoverable VAT, resulting in a net deficit for the year. Per the trustees' report, free reserves were negative at £24,509, which is below the stated policy target of six months' expenditure, though the trustees consider the charity to have adequate resources to continue as a going concern.
