Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £41,424 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by charitable grants exceeding incoming resources. Per the trustees' report, the greatest risk to the Trust's ability to continue is a substantial diminution in giving, though this is currently mitigated by the availability of reserves. The charity holds unrestricted legacy reserves of £184,652 to provide income or meet shortfalls in general donations.
