Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £129,264 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted reserves from £713,813 to £562,016. While the trustees' target for free reserves is £325,000–£400,000, the actual free reserves of £315,996 fall just below this range, though total unrestricted reserves remain above the minimum threshold of £325,000. The trustees confirmed the charity is a going concern with positive cash balances and adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future.
