Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit of £797,204 for the year ended 31 March 2025, primarily due to a £583,956 provision for historical VAT liabilities. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves are negative at £312,579, which is below the policy target, though the board anticipates offsetting this with external funding and remains confident in the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
