Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted general fund is in deficit because regular giving is insufficient to cover core ministry costs. The organization relies heavily on grant funding to sustain operations, and while income declined in 2024, expenditure rose due to the use of one-off grants for major projects.
