The accounts state that the charity achieved a small operating profit before depreciation for the year ended 31 March 2025, with reserves described as 'healthy' by the Treasurer. However, the filing notes that inflation caused key funder contributions to fall short of covering costs, leading to further dipping into reserves. The charity acknowledges inherent uncertainty regarding annual funding reviews but remains operational.
