Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted income increased to £208,728 while unrestricted expenditure was £220,194, resulting in a net decrease in general reserves from £30,902 to £19,436. The trustees note that these general reserves are critically low and below their policy target of maintaining at least three months of unrestricted payments, ideally aiming for £45,000. Despite the deficit in the current year, the independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention that would cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
