Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £4,984 for the year ended 31 May 2025, largely due to £18,933 in suspected theft of funds. While the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £9,683, the trustees note that the theft has exhausted the reserves position, impacting planned investments. Despite this, the trustees confirm the charity can continue as a going concern as ordinary operations generate surplus funds.
