Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £451,417 to £380,499 due to a net expenditure of £70,918, driven by charitable activity costs exceeding incoming resources. The trustees note that while resources have decreased, the Trust remains well positioned to meet future expenditure using its own financial resources and external funding. The charity's reserves policy sets a minimum target of £100,000, which is comfortably exceeded by the current unrestricted fund balance.
