Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £46,776 at the end of 2025, which is significantly higher than its stated aim to maintain at least £12,000. While the charity reports a strong financial position, the trustees highlight uncertainty regarding a proposed six-fold increase in rental costs after October 2026, leading them to conserve funds by holding off on major projects.
