Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased to £339.4m from £368m in the previous year, driven by lower emergency appeal income and reduced support from multilateral organizations. Despite a net deficit of £23.6m for the year, general reserves increased to £35.5m, which the trustees confirm meets their stated policy target of between £35m and £45m. The charity reports adequate resources to continue as a going concern, though it has initiated a restructure to align costs with projected income.
