Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted free reserves of £1,767 at year-end, which is significantly below the trustees' stated policy target of £10,000. Per the trustees' report, this low level results from distributing the majority of funds directly to community support and utilizing previous surpluses to cover increased costs, leaving minimal cash available for routine requirements.
