Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts for the year ended 30 September 2025 were subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, as the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 but did not require statutory audit under the Companies Act 2006. The independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to attention regarding the keeping of accounting records, their accuracy, or compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). The examiner reported no concerns requiring attention to enable a proper understanding of the accounts.
