The accounts state that the charity generated a small surplus of £4,875 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted reserves increasing to £45,020. However, the trustees report that the charity has drawn heavily on reserves in recent years due to increased costs and reduced income, describing the future as uncertain and facing difficult decisions.
