What the accounts disclose

Largest income source: none
The charity experienced a 48% increase in income over the previous year. This was largely due to our organsing a several regional conferences and trainings.
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Reserves policy: strived to maintain a high level of reserves... buffer for an unanticipated increase in expenses or drop in income... allow our reserves to increase further in anticipation of this large expense (held: £66k)
Since nearly all income to the charity is from one off donations the trustees have strived to maintain a high level of reserves. The Trustees believe this level of financial security is important to allow planning for future activities and a buffer for an unanticipated increase in expenses or drop in income. In addition, because the charity is hoping to acquire a property to support our activities we have allowed our reserves to increase further in anticipation of this large expense.
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
