Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £32,873 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds decreasing to £25,098. Per the trustees' report, the charity's reserves policy is to maintain funds equivalent to three to six months' expenditure, but the current balance is below this target. The trustees note that energy price increases and attracting users to the centre were the main challenges during the period.
