Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity will close completely and cease operating in the summer of 2025 after the Board of Trustees determined it would not be viable beyond the end of its NHS contract in June 2025. The decision followed considerable changes in contracting arrangements where the commissioner ceased direct contracts with small providers. The charity had previously operated for 24 years providing family therapy services in Plymouth.
