Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity faces financial instability due to changes in government grants, variations in the number of children attending, and increasing costs, which threaten cash flow and sustainability. The trustees have identified a reserves policy target of three months of unrestricted expenditure to deal with any shocks, although the specific reserve amount is marked for completion. No material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern are explicitly disclosed beyond the noted risks.
