Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity's free reserves stood at £5,740 at the year end, with a policy to cover minimal winding-up costs. The trustees reported that the year was difficult due to staff changes and uncertainty over future funding, though they noted reaching a more stable situation by year-end. The charity remains two separate organizations but is applying for joint funding to increase resilience.
