Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated an unrestricted surplus of £49,656 in the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by significant legacy income. Per the trustees' report, free reserves stand at £350,395, which is significantly above the stated policy target of six months' unrestricted expenditure. However, the financial outlook for the coming three years is described as 'tight,' with a projected drop in reserves in 2027 that would fall below the minimum level if anticipated grant income is not secured.
