Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £18,144 for the year, driven primarily by exceptional donations of £18,148 rather than operational performance. Per the trustees' report, non-committed reserves were £3,896, which is described as small relative to the charity's size and future commitments, leading the trustees to remain cautious about long-term sustainability.
