Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a net surplus of £13,378 for the year, primarily driven by Gift Aid income recognised as receivable rather than cash received. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £13,378, which is slightly below the stated policy target range of £13,750 to £27,500. The charity highlights low cash balances and reliance on timely Gift Aid receipts to meet short-term operational needs.
