Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves of £62,588 are held, which the trustees deem sufficient against a policy target of six months' estimated expenditure (£32,000). The charity reports a net surplus for the year, driven largely by restricted grant income for the completed Lifehouse Project, while unrestricted income saw a slight decrease. Although the PCC acknowledges financial pressure from loan repayments, it has secured deferral and reduction agreements with the Diocesan Board of Finance to maintain going concern status.
