Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a significant deficit of £1,937,541 for the year, driven by a drop in total income to £731,812 from £2.9 million in the prior period. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves fell to £70,307, which is below the stated policy target of approximately £240,000. However, the trustees confirm the charity remains a going concern, supported by a newly signed €15 million contract running until 2028.
