Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £58,120 for the year, resulting in a cumulative net liability position of £67,384. The trustees attribute this to a strategic transition from a grant-dependent model to a consultancy-based approach, noting that income generation under the new model has not yet fully materialised. Despite the negative equity, the trustees confirm the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis, citing cost reductions and expected future contracted income.
