Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £52,596 for the year, resulting in an unrestricted fund deficit of £955. The Independent Examiner identified a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern due to low unrestricted cash levels and reserves at the balance sheet date. However, the Trustees consider the charity has a reasonable expectation of continuing to operate for at least 12 months based on post-year-end governance improvements and expected grant income.
