Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £7,242 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by higher-than-budgeted vehicle insurance and repair costs alongside increased staffing expenses. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm the charity is a going concern with unrestricted reserves of £28,234 and cash in hand of £81,989, which they consider adequate for foreseeable operations.
