Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held total net assets of £1,676,576, comprising £1,640,963 in restricted funds and £35,613 in unrestricted funds. The trustees consider the current level of unrestricted reserves sufficient for short-term needs, noting that core operational costs are largely met through restricted grants rather than general unrestricted funds. The charity reported a net expenditure of £5,236 for the year, primarily due to significant building renovation costs that were capitalised as fixed assets.
