Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £26,396 for the year ended 31 December 2024, resulting in unrestricted funds decreasing from £40,032 to £13,636. The trustees note that the charity lost a major donor in late 2023 but have diversified income sources, with over £220k generated in the first nine months of 2025. The trustees consider the charity to be far more resilient and exposed to less risk than in its early years.
