Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a net deficit of £27,051 for the year, resulting in free reserves being in deficit by £40,288. The trustees acknowledge that the deficit is significant but believe the going concern assumption remains valid, citing strong demand for services and support from related-party loans that will not be repaid until the financial situation permits. No reserves policy has been established, and the trustees expect all monies to be spent on growth aims in the near future.
