Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves fell significantly from £90,222 to £8,293 due to a deficit in the year, driven by reduced sponsorship income and increased delivery costs. The Trustees acknowledge the challenging economic climate and note that the charity used reserve funds to cover the 2024 event, with plans to secure early sponsorship and reduce costs for 2025. Despite the financial pressure, the Trustees maintain a going concern basis, asserting adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
