Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a net income of £9,222 for the year, with total unrestricted reserves of £114,649. However, the trustees report that these unrestricted reserves are below the stated policy target of three months' operating costs (£51,635), noting that the charity is actively seeking unrestricted funding to build stability. The independent examiner highlighted a matter of concern regarding inadequate tracking of restricted funds and missing receipts for expenditure.
