Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity was cash flow insolvent at the start of the period but remained open due to sufficient capital assets to cover debts. The trustees report that additional loan finance and grants were secured to meet repayments and begin building improvements, with a Centre Manager employed to generate surpluses to cover running costs. The only reserve held by the charity is in the capital value of the freehold building.
