Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £7,153 for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves from £149,950 to £142,797. The trustees consider the current level of free reserves to be sufficient to deliver charitable objectives for the next twelve months, despite noting negative impacts on cash flow from delays in receiving costs certificates and a reduction in viable deputyship clients.
