Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a deficit for the year, with total expenditure of £46,298 exceeding total income of £45,597. At year-end, unrestricted reserves stood at £9,648, which the trustees stated was in line with their policy target of six months' operational expenditure (approx. £16,000), though this figure is technically below the stated monetary target. The charity relies heavily on grant funding, particularly from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and faces risks related to cash flow and the expiration of key staff contracts.
