Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased to £150,752 from £215,612 in the prior year, largely due to the absence of a major legacy bequest, while total expenditure fell to £124,112. The charity reports a surplus for the year and holds unrestricted reserves of £14,081, which the trustees note are below their policy target of three months' running costs plus one month's salary. The financial review highlights concerns regarding declining regular giving and potential reductions in government VAT grants, though the coffee shop remains a profitable and self-sustaining income source.
