Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a deficit for the year, with total payments exceeding total receipts. Despite this, the trustees report a healthy cash balance of approximately £22,000 at year-end, noting that they aim to keep a healthy cash reserve to weather challenging years. The primary financial risk identified is the reliance on central funding which may not keep pace with rising national living wage costs.
