Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £30,945 for the year, driven by a 50% drop in income from Sociat services. The trustees note that the organization was able to cope with this reversal because it had built up reserves, although they expect another challenging year due to increased costs from National Insurance changes.
