Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred a deficit of £31,564 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by rising costs in utilities, resources, and staffing. Despite this deficit, the trustees report the charity remains in a strong financial position with unrestricted funds of £189,985. Future plans include creating further forest nurseries, though the trustees note that rising costs will require significant management to remain financially viable.
