Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a net deficit of £13,975 for the year ended 31 March 2025, reducing its cash funds from £23,733 to £9,758. The charity's policy is to hold reserves covering three months of operational costs, but the current unrestricted reserves of £9,758 are below this target given the recent deficit and reliance on shop/café income. The independent examiner confirmed no material issues were found in the examination of the accounts.
