Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £43,287 for the year ended 31 December 2024, resulting in a significant reduction in free reserves from £48,008 to £4,721. The charity's reserves policy aims for six months of operating costs, but the actual unrestricted reserves of £4,721 are well below this target. Despite the deficit and low reserves, the trustees confirm the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
