Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £1.3 million for the year ended 31 May 2025, resulting in net liabilities of £9.9 million. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted funds were primarily in deficit due to the accounting treatment of a committed grant to the University of Oxford, which was recognised in full as expenditure in a prior year despite being paid over six years. The trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by anticipated future income and loan funding from a trustee-related entity.
