Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income for the year was £908,620, significantly driven by the purchase of Alfred House, while operational income fell by 13% to £212,356. The charity reports that its unrestricted free reserves of £14,294 are below its stated policy target of three months' operating costs, a shortfall it attributes to the capital project. Despite this, the trustees confirm the charity remains in a strong position with 60% self-generating income and have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis.
