Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure deficit of £7,358 for the year ended 30 September 2025. However, the filing notes that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by a rent-free lease from the Glass-House Trust until August 2033 and continued grant funding. Free unrestricted reserves stood at £140,684, providing a significant buffer against the reported deficit.
