Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £280,872, which is above its stated policy target of £100,000. The trustees report a net income for the year of £15,472, noting that this decrease from the prior year was due to reversals of donations and membership fees deemed unrecoverable. The charity anticipates that future commitments, including PhD studentships and outreach support, will reduce these reserves in the short term.
