Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a total income of £11.4m and a net surplus of £1.02m for the year ended October 2025. However, the trustees report negative free reserves of £2.6m against a policy target of £2.1m-£2.6m, noting this is offset by £3.4m in deferred income from a pay-in-advance model. The trustees are committed to restoring free reserves to the target level by 2030 through cost management and investment.
