Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with negative unrestricted reserves of £2,868,056 and reported a net movement in funds of -£128,210. The trustees note that financial performance remains challenging due to rising costs not fully matched by funding increases, but the going concern basis is supported by a letter of comfort from the parent charity, Thera Trust.
