Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a large surplus of incoming resources over resources expended for the year ended 5 April 2025, driven by a substantial grant received from another trust. Per the trustees' report, the charity maintains no significant reserves policy due to having no employees and minimal regular outgoings, yet held free unrestricted reserves of £495,959 at year-end. The trustees confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
