Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £186,137 for the year ended 30 June 2025, with unrestricted reserves increasing to £300,245. However, total net liabilities are negative £1,660,513, primarily driven by a £2,000,499 provision for the defined benefit pension scheme deficit. The trustees confirm adequate resources to continue as a going concern, noting the charity is dependent on the University's block grant but has no reason to believe this support will cease.
