Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity recorded an operating deficit on normal activities of £86,807, driven by a significant reduction in residents and a lack of new residents for the foreseeable future. To address this unviability, the trustees have decided to merge the society with Yarmouth and transfer its assets to the merged entity. Despite the operational deficit, a net surplus of £164,996 arose due to an exceptional receipt of £251,803 from the sale of a former property, which has been restricted for building improvements.
