Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income was £92,304 against outgoings of £115,303, resulting in a net expenditure for the year. However, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £165,512, which the trustees note is substantially higher than their stated policy target of one year's expenditure (£115,000). This surplus provides a buffer against future funding risks and potential liabilities such as land disputes or natural disasters.
