Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held total reserves of £234,086, which the trustees confirm is in line with their stated policy target of three months' operational costs. Per the trustees' report, the charity has experienced substantial increases in expenditure, particularly in staff-related costs, which has absorbed financial capacity that would otherwise have contributed to reserves, making reserve building challenging despite organisational growth.
