Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small profit of £673 for the year ended 31 July 2024, following previous losses. However, the trustees note that the loss of core funding from Cambridge Regional College post-year-end presents a significant risk to financial sustainability, though they maintain the going concern basis due to positive reserves and cash flow at the signing date.
