FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts for the year ended 31st December 2025 were subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, as the trustees determined an audit was not required under the Charities Act 2011. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention that would indicate non-compliance with accounting records or statutory requirements. The examination was limited to a review of records and unusual items, providing no opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view'.
