Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income decreased by 22% compared to the previous year due to lower grants and reduced donations, while total outgoings also decreased due to efficient purchasing. The charity holds reserves and has paid off outstanding debts, indicating a stable financial position despite the drop in income. The trustees note that the current location will be vacated in 8-12 months, but buyers are supportive of the move.
