Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net deficit of £12,245 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in total funds decreasing from £156,406 to £144,161. The trustees consider the designated reserve of £20,000 to be adequate for future closure costs, while unrestricted funds stood at £85,133. The accounts were prepared on a receipts and payments basis, and the trustees noted that additional grant funding received shortly after the year end would likely have reduced the reported deficit had accruals accounting been used.
