The accounts state that the charity generated a net surplus of £12,568 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total unrestricted reserves of £378,615. However, the trustees highlight that the charity is entirely dependent on term-restricted grant funding, with core contracts expiring in 2027, and forecast potential shortfalls and cumulative deficits in the coming years. Despite these future risks, the trustees consider current reserves adequate to fund potential deficits and premises acquisition.
