Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £69,181 and unrestricted reserves of £403,010. However, the trustees note that the going concern basis is dependent on securing future funding, as multi-year grants are concluding and NHS contracts are becoming precarious. The charity faces a significant reduction in income over the next two years and has implemented a fundraising strategy to address these challenges.
