Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a surplus of £16,660 for the period, primarily by reducing budgets and changing suppliers. However, the trustees report that rising staff costs, minimum wage increases, and an aging building create significant financial pressure, noting that retaining staff and volunteers is difficult without further financial incentives.
