Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity incurred an in-year loss of £40,780, which eroded its reserve funds to £34,401. The trustees attribute this primarily to increased salary costs and inflation not being fully covered by grant funding. They describe the financial situation as precarious and hope for increased funding to return to break-even.
