Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £34,240 for the year ended 31 March 2026, primarily due to equipping the new centre and staff costs previously funded by grants. However, the trustees confirm the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern and has approved a balanced budget for the following year with expectations of modest surpluses. Free/unrestricted reserves stood at £411,409, significantly above the stated policy target of £110,000.
