Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a net income increase to £47,102, driven by a reduction in voluntary income and a slight decrease in charitable activity income compared to the prior year. The trustees describe the financial position as 'uncomfortably tight' and note that reserves remain below the level required to replace a sum used to consolidate a loan in 2020. Despite these pressures, the charity secured significant grant funding for building repairs and reduced interest costs on its primary loan.
