Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £69,906 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £133,526 to £63,620. The trustees note that the lack of general reserves could contribute to uncertainty, although they believe the going concern basis is appropriate based on ongoing service contracts and improved financial controls. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £54,540, which is below its stated policy target of three months' operating costs.
