Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total funds decreased by £111,681 during the year due to a net unrealised loss on investments and increased charitable expenditure, including grants. However, the charity maintains substantial unrestricted reserves of £143,495 and designated investment funds of £1,977,660, which the Trustees consider sufficient to continue operations as a going concern.
