Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with an operating deficit of £57,793, which was covered by using reserves. Consequently, free reserves were significantly below the stated policy target of three months' operating costs, prompting the release of a restricted endowment grant to restore the reserve level. Despite this challenge, the independent examiner confirmed that there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue.
