Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity held £106,593 in total reserves at year-end, with £34,563 classified as unrestricted. The trustees maintain a policy of holding three months' outgoings in reserve, and the unrestricted balance appears to meet this target. However, the filing notes concerns regarding future funding sustainability after the current five-year grant period ends in December 2028.
