Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year of £212,535, which was an improvement on the original budget due to retail success and legacy income. The trustees note that the charity is heavily dependent on fundraising and shop income, with less than one quarter of resources coming from the NHS, and anticipate that 2025 will be a challenging year for funding. Despite the deficit, the auditor confirmed that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
