Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £3,616,330 to £3,589,166 due to a net loss on investments of £113,275 and charitable expenditure of £14,482, partially offset by donations of £3,500,000. The trustees report that reserves policy targets have been maintained, with unrestricted funds held at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure or £200,000. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the financial statements were materially non-compliant.
