Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's financial position is healthy, with unrestricted reserves of £98,017.42 held at year-end. This amount exceeds the trustees' stated reserves policy target of £60,000–£75,000, a surplus attributed to higher investment interest and a region grant. However, the trustees note a cautious approach to future budgeting due to plateaued membership levels and increased operational costs.
