Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £15,432 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted reserves totaling £509,591. The trustees note that this reserve level is higher than anticipated due to a failure to recruit a youth worker, and they have designated £80,000 for future costs related to this role and building maintenance. While voluntary donations dropped by £9,437, the charity remains financially stable with no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
