Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that free reserves of £175,289 represent four months of the coming year's operational budget, which the trustees consider sufficient to maintain activities if funding drops. However, the trustees note that a higher level of reserves is required to ensure a smooth shutdown of services should the ongoing Local Authority funding not be forthcoming upon tender. The charity reported a small overall surplus of £590 for the year.
