Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £56,680 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by a restricted deficit of £100,063 which was only partially offset by an unrestricted surplus of £43,383. Per the trustees' report, current unrestricted reserves of £183,192 are below the stated policy target of £468,000, which represents six months of unrestricted running expenses plus three months of restricted expenditure. The trustees note that the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of uncertain funding streams, including grant aid and voluntary donations.
