Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £168,621 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds to £3,362,689. While unrestricted reserves show a technical deficit of £21,706 when net of fixed assets, the trustees consider the position manageable due to realisable investments and expect the sale of two properties in 2026 to provide additional cash. The auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
