Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The charity held approximately £20,000 in cash at year-end, which the trustees state brings the group to its advised reserves level of circa £15,000. The group relies entirely on volunteers and faces risks related to volunteer retention and potential increases in leasehold costs. While the group is currently solvent with adequate cash reserves, it notes that it does not have sufficient funds for long-term investments and adopts a risk-averse strategy.
