Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit of income over expenditure of £1,900 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in an unrestricted reserves deficit of £108,513. The trustees note that this position was supported by a £140,000 loan from Camara Education CLG and that a conservative budget approved in January 2026 demonstrates a return to positive cashflow. Consequently, the trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
