Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £526,571 for the year, driven by a reduction in unrestricted funds and a net loss on investments. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves of £266,246 were marginally below the targeted policy range of £270,000 to £280,000, though the trustees consider the position broadly in line with policy. The charity maintains that it can meet its debts as they fall due and has no material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
