Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income of £33,711.47 was less than total expenses of £36,219.65, resulting in a net deficit for the year. However, the charity maintained a positive net asset position, with total resources increasing from £53,471.79 to £53,471.79 (note: document lists opening total resources as 53,471.79 and closing as 53,471.79, but individual account balances show an increase in investment and current accounts offset by other movements, or potentially a typo in the source text's total lines which match exactly despite income/expense difference; strictly following the text: Opening Total Resources £53,471.79, Closing Total Resources £53,471.79). The trustees report that monthly giving covered all expenses and budgeted savings, and the commitment to maintaining a minimum current account balance of £7,500 is being fulfilled.
