Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a small net expenditure of £29,333 for the year, a shift from the previous year's surplus, primarily due to the conclusion of a Department of Health and Social Care funded initiative. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm that unrestricted reserves remain strong and sufficient to meet the stated policy target of three months' operating costs. The auditors confirmed the financial statements give a true and fair view and identified no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
