Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that Silhouette Youth faces rising delivery and staffing costs alongside increasing demand for provision. The charity relies on a mixed funding model including grants, donations, and school income because earned income alone cannot cover the full cost of delivery. The trustees identify securing longer-term support for core costs and strengthening organisational systems as key priorities for sustainability.
