Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £12,786 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £216,060 to £203,274. The trustees note that the charity's financial position is dependent on uncertain future funding streams, including grant aid and donations, and that unrestricted reserves of £26,721 are below the stated policy target. Staff numbers were reduced from 17 to 11 during the year, which the trustees acknowledge impinged upon outreach and fundraising ability.
