Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year, with total outgoing costs of £247,627 exceeding total income of £233,847 by £13,780. Consequently, free reserves decreased from £48,965 to £35,185, a level the trustees note is below their stated policy target of three months' operating costs. The trustees acknowledge financial pressures from rising costs and competition for funding but confirm the charity remains cash positive over the longer term and continues to operate on a going concern basis.
