Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a small surplus of £1,693.90, but this was entirely dependent on a generous bequest of £23,388.10; without it, the charity would have had an overspend of over £18,000. The Treasurer's report notes that current monthly outgoings exceed monthly income, creating a dependency on continued donations and fundraising to ensure the charity can continue its operations.
