Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £623k for the year, continuing a trend of deficits that has led to a reduction in free reserves from £4.2m to £3.5m. While the trustees consider the remaining reserves adequate to support the charity on a going concern basis, they acknowledge that the current financial position is not sustainable in the long term without increased voluntary income.
