Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net operating surplus of £275,329 for the year ended 31 March 2026, driven largely by a donated property valued at £315,415. Per the trustees' report, free reserves stood at a deficit of £134,789 due to the exclusion of fixed assets and designated mortgage funds, though the trustees confirmed this does not indicate a cash flow concern as mortgage repayments are serviced comfortably from ongoing income.
