Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net decrease in funds of £164,998 for the year ended 5 April 2025, driven by significant grant administration costs and investment losses. Despite this decrease, the trustees consider free reserves to be adequate and conclude that the charity is in a strong financial position with sufficient resources to continue as a going concern.
