Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing resource of £28,221 for the year, reducing its total funds to £244,896. The trustees note that obtaining funding is increasingly difficult and that a cash deficit is forecast for the current year, requiring potential scaling down of the organisation if expected funding does not materialise. Despite these pressures, the trustees maintain that the charity can meet its obligations as they fall due based on submitted grant applications and fundraising expectations.
