Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £219,026 for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves to £214,571. The trustees attribute this loss to a high increase in site costs, noting that the setting remains a healthy going concern. The reserves policy requires net current assets of at least £50,000, a target which the charity exceeded at year-end.
