Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased significantly to £251,268 from £449,664 in the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a one-off legacy donation. Despite this reduction, the charity spent £319,753, resulting in a net movement in funds of -£63,544. The trustees note that the outlook presents considerable challenges due to intensified competition for limited funding.
