Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £436,288 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds carried forward of £63,711. The trustees consider the ideal level of unrestricted reserves to be six months of running costs, estimated at £62,000, meaning the current unrestricted reserves are slightly above this policy target. The charity relies on voluntary help to keep staff costs low and has identified financial sustainability as its major financial risk.
