Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit before investment revaluation of £115,628 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by a 36% drop in incoming resources to £701,786. However, the charity holds total reserves of £3,992,144, including £2,108,390 in expendable endowment funds, which the trustees consider sufficient to maintain the charity as a going concern for at least 12 months despite the constrained funding environment.
