Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with unrestricted cash reserves of £85,735, which is below the trustees' stated aim of maintaining reserves at £100,000 or higher. This reduction was primarily due to special project costs of £53,176, including a re-roofing project that exceeded expectations. Despite the lower reserves, the charity reports no material financial liabilities and maintains a surplus from regular operations.
