Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a total surplus of £162,401 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted funds totaling £3,169,514. The trustees note that fee income surplus is currently below their target due to increased care costs, but they maintain a cash reserve policy targeting four months of reduced income (£252,000), although reserves dipped below this level temporarily due to property purchases. The auditor confirmed the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis with no material uncertainties identified.
