Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £60,421 for the year, reducing unrestricted reserves to £19,460. However, the trustees note that this figure includes a one-off accounting adjustment for deferred income and that actual cash reserves remain healthy. The charity's reserves policy target is three months of operating costs (approximately £120,000), meaning the reported reserves are below the stated policy target.
