Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with healthy unrestricted reserves of £141,050, which the trustees consider sufficient to maintain operations. The charity reported a net movement in funds of £39,047, driven by significant incoming restricted resources that were largely transferred to unrestricted funds. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the financial statements were materially inaccurate.
