Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a reduced operating loss of £5,519, having exceeded its income forecast of £282,769 with total income of £328,088. Per the trustees' report, the balance of funds available does not meet the requirements of their reserve policy, which aims to cover two months of running costs and three months of salaries. The trustees note that the budgeted operating loss for 2026 is of serious concern and that expenditure is currently on a necessary-only basis.
