Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred a net expenditure of £225,467 for the year, significantly depleting its unrestricted reserves from £472,621 to £287,232. The trustees report that the lack of security of tenure regarding their lease has stymied fundraising efforts, leading to an unsustainable reliance on reserves. While the trustees consider there to be no material uncertainties about continuing as a going concern, the independent examiner noted that the charity may not be able to continue if a suitable new lease is not negotiated by May 2026.
