Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that total income was £36,780.81 against total expenditure of £62,222.83, resulting in a reported excess of income over expenditure of £25,442.02, which the trustees attribute to an unexpected £30,000 grant. However, the narrative also notes that without this grant, expenditure exceeded other income by more than £5,500, and the charity is actively seeking further support as demand outstrips donations.
