Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds decreased to £208,613 due to a net deficit of £21,296, primarily driven by bad debts from a former tenant and reduced room hire income. Despite this loss, the charity maintains unrestricted reserves of £208,613, which exceed its stated policy target of £120,000, and the trustees confirm the entity continues to operate as a going concern.
