Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity's unrestricted reserves decreased by £12,328 to £93,949, driven by a drop in donations to £3,728 which failed to cover the £81,089 in grants made. Despite the decrease in reserves, the trustees state that the level of reserves remains more than adequate to cover management expenditure and committed grants for the foreseeable future.
