Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £38,274 for the year ended 31 March 2025, a significant reversal from the previous year's surplus of £78,227, driven by a decrease in income and increased overheads. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £83,442, which remains in excess of the stated policy target of three months of unrestricted expenditure. The trustees concluded that the risk to going concern is minimal due to the nature of donations and sufficient bank funds.
