Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is a new CIO replacing The St James Christian Workers Trust, which is scheduled to close in 2026. The organization holds unrestricted reserves of £32,051 and relies on regular donations and a one-time transfer of £27,000 to fund an Office Administrator's salary. A forward projection indicates that reserves would be depleted below £25,000 if current income levels are maintained or decline.
