Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is dependent on its parent foundation to sustain activities, as earned income alone is insufficient. The parent foundation has committed to maintaining liquid funds to cover deficits, resulting in a breakeven position at year-end. The charity holds unrestricted funds of £107,740, which exceeds its stated policy of holding only sufficient cash for immediate working capital needs.
