Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased from £178,818 to £77,691 due to a net expenditure exceeding incoming resources. The trustees report that financial support has continued to be strong following the year end and they are comfortable with the charity's financial position. The reserves policy aims to retain funds equivalent to four months' expenditure, but the actual unrestricted reserves of £77,691 are below this implied target given the significant drop in income.
