Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted funds decreased from £176,856 to £16,804, resulting in a net deficit for the year as total payments (£236,291) exceeded total receipts (£211,669). The trustees' report indicates a policy to maintain at least three months of core operating costs in reserves, but the current unrestricted cash balance of £16,804 appears significantly below this target given the scale of annual expenditure.
