Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total surplus of £416,793, driven largely by a £500,000 grant for the Cambridshire and Peterborough Fund for Nature. However, the charity notes that its running costs are dependent on gaining further grants and contracts, and its 'normal' reserves of £72,468 are only slightly above its policy target of £35,000.
