Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The charity reported a net deficit of £20,961 for the year, driven by a significant gap in grant aid following the resignation of fundraising trustees. Unrestricted reserves fell to £8,697, which the trustees note equates to approximately one month's expenditure, though they consider total reserves adequate for continuity. The charity is continuing its operations with no material uncertainties regarding its going concern status.

Automated summary of the FY2026 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £9k; policy: approximately one month’s expenditure)
“As at 31 March 2026, the charity had reserves totalling £49,318 of which £8,697 is unrestricted. Whilst this level of unrestricted reserves equates to only approximately one month’s expenditure, the Trustees believe that the total reserves held are adequate to enable the charity to continue but the Trustees aim to increase the unrestricted reserves held.” — page 7
