Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £99k for the year ended 31 March 2025, a significant reversal from the £939k surplus in the prior year, largely due to increased central overhead recharges from the parent group. Despite this deficit, the charity maintained unrestricted reserves of £1,755k, which exceeds its stated policy target of one month's expenditure (£1,134k), and the trustees confirmed adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
