Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total unrestricted funds decreased from £3,887,135 to £3,725,460 due to a net depreciation in investment values of £142,562, which outweighed incoming resources of £93,398. Despite this loss, the charity maintained sufficient reserves to cover its grant-making activities and administrative costs, with unrestricted funds significantly exceeding the trustees' stated policy target of £75,000.
