Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £1,719 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves to £76,587. The trustees acknowledge that the major risk to the charity is the failure to obtain sponsorship and donations, noting that the charity is wholly dependent on these sources to carry out its activities. Despite the deficit, the trustees consider the charity to be a going concern with no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue.
