Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of around £11k for the year, an improvement on the previous year's £14k deficit, driven by lower expenditure despite reduced donations. The trustees note that while the reserves target of six months' unrestricted payments has been formally met with £150k in unrestricted funds, this balance relies heavily on designated funds which may be excessive. The charity continues to seek increased income through fundraising and committed giving to address long-term sustainability.
