Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £63,819 for the year, reducing total funds to £268,075. The trustees note that grant funding is becoming more difficult to secure and that the closure of the Communities for Work Programme funding by 30 June 2025 may force the closure of that employability programme unless replacement funding is secured. Despite these risks, the trustees confirm the organization continues to generate sufficient funds to cover financial commitments.
