Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 were subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, as determined by the trustees under the Charities Act 2011. The independent examiner reported that no matters came to their attention giving reasonable cause to believe that accounting records were not kept or that accounts did not accord with those records. The report contains no specific financial figures or narrative regarding the charity's financial health.
