Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity prepared its financial statements on a managed winding-down basis due to a material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern. This decision was driven by cash flow forecast sensitivities indicating reserves would be depleted by March 2026 without further income or cost reductions. Despite making a small surplus of £409 for the year, free reserves fell to £56,670, which is below the stated policy target of three months' expenditure.
