Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds unrestricted funds of £136,757, an increase from the previous year's £55,893, supported by incoming resources of £225,980 against charitable expenditure of £145,115. The trustees consider a formal reserves policy unnecessary as the charity receives annual funding from its parent company and does not hold legally binding multi-year financial commitments. The independent examiner confirmed that accounting records were kept and the financial statements accord with those records.
