Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted funds show a deficit for the year of £64,239, resulting in unrestricted reserves of only £9,404. The trustees' report notes that the impact of the financial crisis is serious and that the centre will require a considerable period of time to become financially stable and viable. However, the independent examiner's report confirms there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
