Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity maintained unrestricted reserves of £73,770 at the end of the period, which falls within the trustees' stated policy target of between £5,000 and £10,000. The trustees consider this level of reserve prudent to respond to emergency applications and mitigate against stock market fluctuations. The independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to attention that would suggest the accounts did not accord with the accounting records.
