Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus of £12,475 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total income of £100,323 against spending of £87,851. However, the trustees note that unrestricted reserves of £7,157 remain below their stated policy target of £15,000, which represents three months of bare minimum operating costs. The filing indicates that while core costs are currently covered by grant funding, the low reserve level is considered an area of concern.
