Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £14,178 for the year ended 31 March 2025, driven by an unrestricted deficit of £38,661 which was partially offset by a restricted surplus. Per the trustees' report, financial pressures are growing due to rising employment and food costs outstripping income, leading to a reliance on external grants to bridge the funding gap.
