Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a surplus of £35,353 for the year, increasing its total unrestricted and restricted funds to £86,665. However, the trustees note that the centre is running at a monthly deficit of around £2,000 due to the withdrawal of general support from Croydon Council, creating uncertainty regarding the continuation of their significant rent reduction. The organization remains dependent on alternative funding sources and volunteer recruitment to sustain its services.
