Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £286,829, which the trustees describe as approximately 22 months of funding against a policy target of 18 months (£256,000). The charity reported a net operating loss of £14,021 for the year, driven by rising venue costs that are anticipated to exceed fundraised income by around 5% in the next financial year. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm the charity remains a going concern with adequate controls in place.
