Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a net receipt of £9,830 for the year, with unrestricted funds increasing to £33,551. The trustees report that their reserves policy is to hold enough funds to meet six months' operating costs, estimating a need for just over £30,000, and note that current free reserves of £33,551 exceed this target. The charity remains reliant on annual council decisions for its largest income source but plans to increase self-sustainability through expanded use of the centre and new funding bids.
