Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £10,119 for the year, reducing its total unrestricted funds from £56,835 to £46,716. The trustees' report confirms a reserves policy to maintain three months of running costs, and the current unrestricted fund balance of £46,716 appears sufficient to meet this target given the annual expenditure of approximately £91,713. No material uncertainties or going concern issues were identified by the independent examiner.
