Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded a net deficit of £21,403 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds moving into a deficit position of £5,572. Total funds at year-end stood at £1,360, significantly lower than the previous year's £22,763, driven by sharp increases in energy costs and staffing expenses. Despite these pressures, the trustees confirm the charity remains a going concern based on reviewed cashflow forecasts and a financial recovery programme.
