Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that expenditure exceeded income, reducing unrestricted reserves to £3,602, which is below the charity's policy target of holding three months' essential running costs. The charity faced cashflow pressure after missing a regular grant, though it managed interim liquidity by offsetting its lease deposit against rent and settling outstanding charges after the year-end.
