Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a modest surplus of £288,579, supported by a one-off unrestricted grant of £450,000. Per the trustees' report, free reserves of £965,884 currently fall short of the Home Office contract target of 25% of unrestricted expenditure, covering only 23% of expenditure. The trustees are confident that reserves can be replenished and the policy target met within the next three years following a restructuring process.
