FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £15,475 for the year ended 30 September 2025, driven by increased expenses including new pastoral staff costs and higher utilities. Per the trustees' report, general giving and café income both declined significantly, leading to the decision to cease café operations by July 2026. Despite these pressures, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £325,023, though the trustees note they do not currently allocate a specific amount to free reserves.
