Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus on unrestricted funds of £39,473, with total incoming resources of £344,878. However, the trustees note that increased expenditure on assessments and audits has prevented the rebuilding of reserves, which the document describes as a challenging year. The charity holds unrestricted free reserves of £139,182 against a policy target of six months' expenditure.
