Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted funds increased to £200,210, resulting in a surplus of £35,668 for the year. However, the trustees have decided to dissolve the charity during 2026, transferring leadership and responsibilities to The Pinnacle Learning Trust. The dissolution is attributed to the evolution of the linked trust and a lack of capacity to discharge legal and administrative responsibilities.
