Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's total income decreased to £36,650 from £49,305 in the prior year, resulting in a near break-even position with expenditure of £36,562. The trustees report that unrestricted reserves are currently insufficient to meet their policy target of three months' net operating costs, noting that the charity does not currently hold any reserves. Despite this, the trustees maintain that the charity can continue in business and aim to build reserves closer to 12 months of expenditure to reduce funding risks.
