Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity remains in a strong financial position, having broken even while maintaining sufficient funds for building improvements and a contingency fund. However, the filing notes that rising operational costs, including salaries and utilities, place additional pressure on budgets, creating a dependency on external grant funding to sustain current service levels.
