Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a surplus of approximately £1,000 (nearly £7,000 in cash terms) for the year ended July 2025, with total funds increasing to £95,259. The trustees note that while the organization is financially stable, there is a risk regarding the potential reduction of funding from AgeUK Barnet due to service retendering in 2027, prompting efforts to secure alternative grants.
