Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £32,349 for the year, reducing total unrestricted reserves to £3,714. The trustees note that the reserves policy target of three months' cover for wages and overheads is under severe pressure, with current unrestricted funds representing only approximately three-quarters of a month's cover. Despite this tight liquidity position, the trustees maintain a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
