Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £19,239 for the year ended 31 October 2025, with total unrestricted reserves of £41,265. The trustees consider the charity to be in a good position to continue its activities, noting that assets are adequate to fulfil obligations. However, the report highlights that fundraised income must continue at current levels to meet the charity's cost base, which is described as an inevitable challenge.
