Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £5,971 against a policy target of three months of unrestricted expenditure, which is significantly below the stated goal. The trustees note that while income was the highest since 2013, the future remains difficult due to a bleak funding climate and competition for grants. The charity is project-funded and is actively working to build unrestricted income streams to improve its financial security.
