Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure deficit of £54,190 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £449,950 to £395,760. Per the trustees' report, the organization relies significantly on Wiltshire Council for core funding, which has reduced from covering 65% to circa 30% of costs over the last decade, though a new five-year commission provides future certainty. The trustees confirm adequate resources to continue as a going concern despite the current economic climate.
