Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity experienced a financial deficit for the year, with unrestricted reserves decreasing from £84,881 to £61,598 due to rising costs and funding below predicted levels. The trustees note that the charity aims to hold six months of running costs in reserves but has not achieved break-even in the current year. Future financial viability is described as challenging due to anticipated lower pupil numbers and birth rates in the area.
