Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity finished the year in a positive financial position with a net income surplus, allowing reserves to exceed the policy target. However, the trustees note that children numbers are looking lower than anticipated for the upcoming year, which may put pressure on future sustainability given that government funding does not fully cover operational costs.
