Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £239,176 for the year ended 31 March 2025, increasing its unrestricted reserves to £2.2 million. However, the trustees note that much of this strength lies in long-term property and asset holdings rather than liquid reserves, with free cash reserves remaining limited. The charity holds a pension deficit liability of £90,297 and relies on continued partnership with funders to sustain liquidity and service delivery.
