Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

What the accounts disclose
“Those reserves which are kept are needed to cover the running costs of the charity (administration, publicity, insurance).”
“The Trustees are aware that there is a need to review the sustainability of the charity. Only one mainstream school is partnering with the charity and able to send pupils on visits. This leaves the charity’s main mode of operation quite fragile.” — page 8
“Link for Life Project trustees were pleased to be able to donate a total of £3,600 to our partner charity Hands at Work in Africa UK which supports the work of poverty relief in needy communities in southern Africa.”
