Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts
The accounts for the year ended 31 March 2026 have been subject to an independent examination rather than a full audit, as determined by the trustees under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011. The independent examiner reported that no matters came to their attention giving reasonable cause to believe that accounting records were not kept or that the accounts did not comply with statutory requirements.
