Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of incoming resources over resources expended for the year ended 5 April 2025, largely due to non-cash depreciation and grants given to an affiliated trust. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Free reserves at year-end were £100,877, which the trustees noted was higher than usual due to funds reserved for anticipated future capital expenditure.
