Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a surplus of £263,446 for the year ended 31 March 2023, with total unrestricted and restricted reserves standing at £686,499. The trustees consider this amount to be a sufficient safety net, noting it exceeds their stated policy target of three months' operating expenditure. However, the report highlights that securing funding remains a serious challenge due to volatile local authority grants and increasing competition for contracts.
