FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity faced financial pressures, including a lack of a promised grant and high energy bills, which prevented the delivery of its Summer Programme. Despite these challenges, the trustees retained core staff and paid the London Living Wage, while unrestricted reserves increased to £141,146. The charity remains solvent with net assets of £187,776, though it relies heavily on hall hire income and charitable funding.
