Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £24,920 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds to £87,827. The trustees acknowledge that unrestricted reserves of £82,864 fall significantly short of their stated policy target of £190,000, noting it is unlikely the target will be reached for at least five years. While the charity remains operational, the trustees highlight risks associated with reliance on social care funding and rising costs, stating they are exploring diversification to mitigate these financial pressures.
