Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income decreased slightly to £116,461 from £118,172 in the prior year, largely due to a one-off grant receipt in the previous period. The charity reported a net surplus of £4,559, resulting in unrestricted funds of £378,351 and total reserves of £588,675, which the trustees consider sufficient to meet their policy target of six months' future cash requirements.
