Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £3,246.55 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by rising costs in utilities and food alongside decreased income from lower place occupancy. Despite this loss, accumulated reserves remain substantial at £141,454.02, providing a significant financial buffer. The trustees note that future capital expenditure is required to expand provision, which may impact short-term cash flow.
