Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total income for the year was £27,657 against total expenditure of £28,624, resulting in a net deficit of £967. The charity reports that session funding has been 'hand-to-mouth' and core funding is difficult to secure, creating insecurity of income for the core team. However, unrestricted reserves have reached the policy target of three months' turnover, with unrestricted cash funds ending at £14,628.
