Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's financial reserves were much reduced, dropping from £67,370 to £38,424, due to an operational loss of around £30,000 driven by increased staff and rental costs. The trustees note that government grant funding has not kept up with costs, though they maintain there are adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.
