Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £24,861 for the year ended 31 March 2026, resulting in total reserves falling to £88,873. The Trustees note that these reserves are equivalent to just under 3 months of planned expenditure, which aligns with their stated policy target of retaining three months' expenditure. The filing confirms that resources are adequate to continue operations, with no material uncertainties or going concern issues identified.
What the accounts disclose
“The Trustees regularly monitored the level of reserves and aim to retain 3 month’s expenditure as a reasonable balance between the need to resource current services and the need for longer term sustainability.”
