Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a net deficit of £59,494 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total reserves from £446,027 to £386,533. The trustees report that free unrestricted reserves stood at £226,178, representing just over three months of budgeted expenditure, which is below their stated policy target of £240,000 to £290,000. Despite this shortfall against policy and funding uncertainty, the trustees remain confident in the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
