Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £54,105 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £444,079 to £389,974. The trustees note that the low reserves figure at year-end reflects the purchase of a property in January, leaving free reserves at £25,232, which is below the stated policy target of six months of unrestricted expenditure. Despite the loss of significant ASGSF funding, the trustees and auditors consider the going concern basis appropriate, citing that the new strategic approach is working and contingency plans are in place.
