FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is almost entirely reliant on grant funding and has struggled to secure funding in the past year, leading to reduced staff hours in Cornwall. The trustees' report notes that resources are increasingly thinly spread and funding is an ongoing challenge in a straitened financial landscape. Despite these economic constraints, the charity continues to deliver services to Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller communities.
