Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £146,000 for the year ended March 2025, driven by a conservative spending approach and restricted funding. However, the trustees describe the unrestricted reserves position as 'concerning,' with free reserves of £64,729 falling significantly below the stated policy target of £100,000. The trustees have identified material uncertainties regarding future fundraising and sustainability, noting it is not yet clear if the charity's role can be resourced sustainably.
