Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £160,542, which is within the stated policy target of £83,000 to £125,500 plus wind-up costs. The charity reported a net deficit of £18,434 for the year, driven by a reduction in contractual income and inflationary staff cost pressures. The trustees confirm the organization is a going concern with sufficient funding for at least the next 12 months despite political risks regarding the future of Healthwatch functions.
