Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a small surplus of £5,831 and unrestricted reserves of £51,529. However, the trustees report that these reserves are below the stated policy target of £101,241, covering only around 1.5 months of running costs against a policy of four months. The trustees acknowledge challenges in securing trust and foundation support and are working to diversify income streams to strengthen long-term sustainability.
