Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a net surplus of £17,448, largely attributed to a £20,000 National Lottery grant. Without this specific grant, the charity would have been in a deficit position despite higher income from café sales. The trustees note that menu prices require regular review to cover inflation costs and ensure the café remains self-funding.
