Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing resource of £38,131 for the year, resulting in total reserves falling to £34,301 from £72,432 in the prior year. The trustees note that the charity is entirely dependent on continuing grant aid, which impacts the going concern basis, although no material uncertainties were identified at the time of signing. The charity's reserves policy requires maintaining funds sufficient for three months of core activity, and the current unrestricted reserves of £9,045 are below the implied target given the significant drop in total funds.
