Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity generated a net profit of £166 for the year, though this was significantly impacted by VAT liabilities which 'eaten up almost all of the net profit'. The trustees note that while sales have declined slightly, the small net profit allows the charity to remain viable and continue meeting its objectives, with reserves retained to ensure continuity of trading and liquidity for restocking.
