Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that income was insufficient to cover essential overheads, resulting in a net expenditure before investment gains. The charity's continued operation relied on personal loans from the Chairman and another individual to support difficult cash flow. The trustees report that a large legacy remains held up in probate, and quality donations have not resumed post-pandemic.
