Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £75,703 for the year ended 31 October 2025, driven by strategic investments in educational infrastructure and international expansion that placed pressure on short-term cash flow. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves stood at £33,408, representing approximately 0.29 months of operating expenditure, which is significantly below the implied target of maintaining sufficient reserves for financial resilience. Despite the deficit, the auditor confirmed no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
