Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £390,664 for the year, primarily due to a significant reduction in corporate grant income compared to the previous year. Despite this deficit, the trustees consider the charity's financial position to be resilient, noting that unrestricted reserves held at the year-end represent just under four months of budgeted expenditure. The charity confirms it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
