Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £10,337 and free reserves of £90,425, which the Treasurer describes as a 'very satisfactory position' meeting the policy target of six months' costs. However, the Scheme Manager notes that funding remains a concern for the future, and the Treasurer explicitly states that the current financial recovery is 'no guarantee for the future.'
