Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £59,280 for the year ended 31 July 2025, resulting in a decrease in net assets to £132,476. The trustees acknowledge that the current level of unrestricted reserves is below their policy target of four months' operating costs, but believe the position is adequate to manage immediate obligations following a post-year-end restructuring plan. Internal forecasts indicate reserves may reduce further to approximately £76,000 by the end of the 2025-26 financial year before recovery begins.

Automated summary of the FY2025 accounts; the evidenced findings below carry the verbatim passages.
