Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with unrestricted reserves in a deficit of £6,818, following a net expenditure of £13,204. The trustees note that this deficit is due to accrual accounting and a decision to only request funds as expenditure becomes due, rather than a lack of operational viability. Per the trustees' report, the charity relies on partner company support to meet obligations and has stated that donations have increased since year-end to restore healthier reserves.
