Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity's total funds decreased by £34,509 during the year, primarily due to net investment losses of £65,173 which outweighed the net income from charitable activities. Despite this decline in investment value, the charity maintained its overall financial standing after withdrawing two unclaimed grants, though the trustees noted that merely treading water amidst inflation is not a welcome state of affairs.
