Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £80,985 for the year ended 31 August 2025, with total unrestricted reserves of £62,957. Per the trustees' report, these reserves are significantly above the stated policy target of £15,000, providing a buffer against unforeseen costs. The trustees consider this higher level of reserves prudent given the charity's newly established status and ongoing development of income streams.
