Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity dipped into its unrestricted reserves by approximately £8,000 to fund a roof upgrade, resulting in a small deficit for the year. The trustees aim to replenish these reserves and increase their buffer in line with their policy of maintaining three months of running costs over the next three years. The organization anticipates shortfalls due to the cost-of-living crisis and new employer NI costs, requiring efficiency savings and increased fundraising to ensure ongoing viability.
