Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total reserves decreased by £54,034 to £342,661, with unrestricted funds falling to £283,159, which the Trustees consider adequate to provide approximately four months of ongoing expenditure. The charity reports a significant reduction in income from its primary funder, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council, following a contract retender, which necessitates a major restructuring and curtailed spending from December 2025. Despite these pressures, the organization secured the new contract and maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification.
