Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a trading deficit of £35,222 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by café expenses exceeding income, though this was partially offset by a significant increase in grant income. Despite financial challenges from increased staffing and energy costs, the charity maintained its reserves at £96,761 and continued to deliver community projects and services.
