The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £235,772 for the year ended 30 June 2025, a significant shift from the previous year's net income. This deficit was attributed to deliberate reserve usage for investment, redundancy costs, an office move, and the appointment of a new COO. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stand at £114,756, which is within the stated policy of maintaining 3-6 months of operating costs, and the trustees have no concerns regarding the charity's future.
