Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit for the year of £328,956, driven by a deficit on unrestricted funds of £362,953 which was partially offset by a surplus on restricted funds. Despite this annual loss, the charity maintains substantial free reserves of £2.731 million, which the trustees consider sufficient to meet their policy target of three months' expenditure and ensure long-term financial health.
