Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a deficit of £13,849 for the year, largely due to timing issues with funding receipts and the purchase of a new vehicle. Unrestricted reserves fell to £29,948, which the trustees note is outside their stated policy target of three to six months' expenditure, although they report reserves have since increased back within the policy range.
