Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's reserves policy target is £3,000, which serves as a buffer to ensure continuity of activities if income falls short. The trustees report that all bills are paid on time, there are no outstanding loans or debts, and no cash flow issues were reported for the period. Net assets have remained small as funds are reinvested into the group rather than held as long-term investments.
