FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £126,566 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total funds to £222,007 from £348,573 the previous year. The Trustees note that free reserves of £152,559 are below their stated policy target of six months' running expenses (£291,785), attributing this to restricted funding shortfalls and reduced fundraising income. Despite these pressures, the Trustees and auditors confirm the charity remains a going concern with plans to return to surplus in future years.
