Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves fell significantly to £502, while the charity is largely dependent on funding from World Rugby. The trustees report that their main sponsor is cutting funding by 75%, which throws the future of the charity in doubt and may force closure in late 2026 or early 2027 if new sponsorship is not secured.
