Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a deficit of £6,690 for the year ended 31 July 2025, driven by rising utility and wage costs alongside a one-off grant that did not recur. Unrestricted reserves fell to £24,593, which the trustees acknowledge is below their stated policy target of three months' operating expenditure. Despite the deficit, the trustees maintain that resources are adequate for long-term sustainability.
