Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £22,667 for the year, resulting in a reduction of its general fund reserves to £523,635. The entity holds significant net fixed assets in its freehold property but faces net current liabilities of £1,718,071, primarily due to a mortgage loan due for repayment in March 2026. The trustees consider the going concern basis appropriate based on expected support from the parent charity, although the charity is dependent on this continued financial support to meet its liabilities.
