Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity has unrestricted reserves of £584,422, though the trustees note that the lack of cash reserves is a concern and provides little contingency against unbudgeted expenditure. Per the independent auditors' report, a material uncertainty exists regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern due to reliance on unconfirmed grant funding. The trustees remain satisfied that the charity has sufficient funds to meet liabilities as they fall due within the next 12 months.
