Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £19,418 for the year, primarily due to a non-recurring legacy in the prior year and reduced sales commission. Despite the deficit, cash balances increased to £89,736, and the trustees indicate underlying financial stability while prioritizing the rebuilding of reserves. Total funds at year-end were £213,191, with unrestricted reserves of £68,016 falling slightly below the stated policy target of £70,000.
