Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £25,696 for the year ended 31 May 2025, increasing its unrestricted reserves to £125,917. The trustees confirm that the charity does not employ paid staff and is wholly run by volunteers. However, the independent examiner noted a material uncertainty regarding the charity's continuation as a going concern due to its dependence on periodic grants and the lack of certainty about continued funding.
