Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity faced a significant operational disruption due to an unexpected eviction notice requiring them to vacate their site. However, the organization successfully relocated by acquiring a new plot of land, which was developed into a new centre at a cost of approximately £165,000, funded by public donations. The trustees report that the new centre is now established and operational, with increased volunteer numbers and media presence.
