Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a small overall surplus of £766 for the year, but this was offset by a deficit on the general fund, resulting in an accumulated unrestricted deficit of £17,084. The trustees note that the charity has no general or unrestricted reserves left and describe this as an unsatisfactory and unsustainable situation, particularly as the main grant from Southampton City Council is being withdrawn by April 2026.
