Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

Per the trustees' report, the charity's unrestricted reserves fell to £1,080.44 at year-end, which is substantially below its stated policy target of holding approximately three months' expenditure. The accounts report a net expenditure deficit of £10,699.64 for the year, resulting in a significant reduction in cash resources from the opening balance. While the trustees confirm the going-concern basis, they note that liquidity is monitored against donation receipts due to the low cash balance relative to annual programme expenditure.
