Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an unrestricted surplus of £17,167 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total reserves of £375,542. However, the trustees note that unrestricted reserves of £268,828 are below the stated target of £297,000, and available free reserves are further reduced by committed activity costs. The trustees acknowledge that high levels of current funding are set to reduce or end in the next 6-12 months, presenting a risk to long-term sustainability.
