Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a net deficit of £97,721 for the year ended 31 March 2025, having drawn on reserves to cover the shortfall. The trustees report that unrestricted free reserves stood at £562,433, which is at the lower end of their stated policy target of four to six months' running costs (£569k - £854k). While the charity continues as a going concern, the trustees acknowledge that some key contracts ended and they are actively monitoring the extent to which existing services can be maintained from reserves.

What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy
“Against the target we are holding £562,433 in free reserves at the year end.”
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Governance: The document notes a vacancy for Company Secretary from 1-14 April 2024, but does not explicitly state late filing or regulator engagement as a 'serious matter' in the governance flags sense. However, it does note 'significant risks' and 'funding shortfall'. Per rule 8, only serious explicitly-stated matters like late filing admitted, regulator engagement, serious incident reports, internal control failures. None of these are explicitly stated as admitted failures or regulator engagements. The CEO resignation and trustee turnover are operational, not governance failures per se. I will leave this empty as no explicit 'serious governance failure' is stated.
