Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's total free reserves were £25,661 at the end of 2025, a figure the trustees consider sufficient given their reliance on a single major donor. The filing notes that the trustees do not believe it is necessary to hold higher reserves due to the strong relationship with the funder and the nature of the charity as a grant-maker. The auditor confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
