Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £224,693 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total funds of £513,832. The trustees consider the going concern basis appropriate due to large bank balances and a five-year NHS contract, though they note reliance on periodic grant funding which limits long-term forecasting.
What the accounts disclose
“The charity is reliant upon the periodic award of grant funding from the NHS. Since the grants are awarded on a periodic basis, the charity is unable to forecast too far into the future and in particular for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.” — page 17
