Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £25,903 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted reserves increasing to £32,461. However, the trustees and auditors highlight a material uncertainty regarding going concern, as the charity is heavily dependent on London Borough of Camden grants which are only confirmed through August 2026. The trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue operating for at least twelve months despite this dependency.
