Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £257,837 for the year, largely driven by a one-off profit of £248,146 from the sale of a property. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £1,247,001, though the trustees note that bank facilities are renewed annually and not guaranteed, indicating a dependency on external funding sources for working capital.
