Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an operating surplus of £5,538 for the year ended 31 March 2023, with total unrestricted funds of £156,933. The trustees note that the charity is highly dependent on grant income to sustain its activities, as earned income alone would not allow the company to continue operating. Consequently, the board has agreed to maintain financial reserves to ensure main operations can continue for a period of three months in the event of funding difficulties.
