Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total consolidated income for the year was £7,425k against expenditure of £7,265k, resulting in a net income of £2,321k. However, the charity reports negative free reserves of £14.8m under SORP definitions, though it holds £45.2m in total unrestricted funds. The trustees note that the trust is likely to operate in a deficit position over the next two to three years due to high inflation and borrowing costs.
