Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £481,692 for the year ended 31 May 2025, with unrestricted reserves increasing to £490,440. The trustees consider these reserves appropriate given the charity's policy to keep unrestricted funds at no more than six months' expenditure, supported by a four-year funding agreement from its primary donor. The auditor confirmed there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
