Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a small cumulative surplus of £1,202.34, following total revenue of £42,045.47 and expenditure of £40,843. The trustees report highlights significant financial volatility, noting a heavy reliance on event-driven income and a concerning downward trend in core voluntary income. Consequently, the organization has low reserves and no stated reserves policy, with recommendations to establish a minimum reserves policy of 1–2 months' operating costs.
