Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that gross income decreased slightly from the prior year, largely due to the absence of a £10,000 legacy received previously. While unrestricted reserves declined by approximately £6,000 due to increased spending on good causes, the trustees report that the drop in community partner support is not currently threatening to the charity's activities.
