Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased by £1,991 during the year, leaving a balance of £23,804.

However, the charity maintains a bank balance increase of £10,668 and states its reserve policy of approximately 20% of annual payments is well met.
