Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity operated at a net expenditure of £41,964 for the year, exacerbated by the loss of a major source of grant funding. Despite this deficit, the trustees confirm the charity remains on a sound financial basis with unrestricted reserves of £751,703, which equates to approximately 18 months' running costs. The portfolio of investments decreased in value due to difficult financial markets, but occupancy levels at the residential home remained good.
