Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity held zero unrestricted reserves at the end of the period, with any available income being used for running costs and improvement projects. The charity reported a net deficit of £154 for the year, driven by rising costs for food, energy, and major electrical refurbishments. Despite these pressures, the independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to attention that would suggest the accounts were not prepared in accordance with the Act.
