Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small deficit of £43,500 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in total unrestricted reserves from £467,197 to £423,697. The trustees confirm that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern and maintain uncommitted reserves intended to cover at least three months of operating costs. Despite the deficit, the organization notes that its short-term funding position remains relatively healthy due to continued support from Lancashire County Council and NHS project funds.
