Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported an operating loss of £14,553.77 for the year ended 31 July 2025, primarily due to strategic investments in a new Community Hub and increased employment costs. The trustees note that underlying operational performance is weaker than headline figures suggest, with a structural gap between income and costs that is not considered sustainable long-term without careful management.
