Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the Charity recorded a net deficit of £30,934 for the year, resulting in a negative net current asset position of £(16,565). However, the Trustees report that this deficit reflects timing of cash movements rather than structural issues, and free reserves are expected to return to policy levels in the first half of 2026. The Charity maintains adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by an investment portfolio valued at £1,875,979.
