Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £591,042 for the year, driven by significant impairments to fixed assets and trading challenges in its subsidiary. While unrestricted reserves stood at £303k, the Trustees note that immediate operational demands prevented contributions to reserves, though they assert there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
