Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £4,362,759, which exceeds the stated policy target of three months' expenditure. Although the General Fund showed a deficit for the year, this was offset by strong reserves held in the Circuit Advance Fund, and the Trustees confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
