Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted reserves were £2,681 at the balance sheet date, which is not enough to cover one month’s running costs based on current outgoings. The trustees acknowledge that the financial situation has remained challenging and that restricted income had failed to be ring-fenced within cash reserves. To address this, the charity sold its major asset, the Kirkburton Hub, after the year end to replenish cash reserves.
