Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure deficit of £351,802 for the year ended 31 December 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves falling to £44,764. This figure is significantly below the charity's stated policy target of £180,000 - £340,000. However, the trustees report that post-year-end fundraising and restructuring measures successfully rebuilt reserves to exceed six months of operating expenditure by July 2026, leading to a positive going concern assessment.
