Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the period with unrestricted funds of £24,659, resulting in a surplus of receipts over payments. The trustees note that while the bank balance is relatively healthy, current donation levels are insufficient to cover base running costs, indicating a need to seek additional funding. The charity's reserves policy is to maintain funds equivalent to six to nine months of expenditure, though the document does not explicitly confirm if the current balance meets this target.
