Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity was debt-free at the end of March 2025 and fully owns its building, which is valued at over £200,000. Per the trustees' report, the charity sustained four part-time paid roles and provided work experience opportunities, though it noted that an increase in the minimum wage would have an adverse effect on finances. The trustees are considering selling the building to release cash and move to rented premises to safeguard the future.
