Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The charity reported a net deficit of £30,383.34 for the year ended 31 December 2024, primarily due to significant one-off expenditure on bases and equipment. Despite this, free reserves stood at £105,496, which the trustees note is lower than their aspiration but still represents approximately 12 months of operating expenses. The charity states it is entirely reliant on voluntary contributions but feels confident in safeguarding its medium to long-term operability.
