Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity remained active and solvent in the year, with total funds increasing from £29,804 to £45,474. However, the trustees report that the financial position continues to suffer while rebuilding following the pandemic, noting that key revenue sources have reduced and the charity has not yet returned to pre-pandemic income levels. The charity relies on a trading subsidiary to cover rent and utilities, which is itself recovering from significant income losses.
