Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total incoming resources were £133,166 with net incoming resources of £9,151, resulting in total funds of £71,850 at year-end. The trustees' report notes that financial sustainability remains a key risk due to dependency on grant income, although secured funding covers planned expenditure for the next two years. Free reserves amounted to £40,022, which the trustees consider below their policy target of six months' operating costs.
