Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's financial position was reasonably stable at the end of the financial year, with total unrestricted and restricted reserves amounting to £21,064. However, the trustees report that raising sufficient funds to meet core costs remains an ongoing challenge, noting that less income from fundraising has necessitated restricting outgoings to stay afloat. Despite these pressures, the charity has secured funding for staff covering one year and aims to build reserves to cover six months of operational costs.
