Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity demonstrates the beginnings of financial sustainability following a long period of uncertainty, supported by a combination of income streams including grants, donations, rental income, and individual giving. The trustees report a strengthened financial position and intend to build on this in the year ahead. However, the charity faced an untenable position regarding night shelter funding, receiving only £9k against a £91,000 cost, which led to the decision not to facilitate the shelter for the second year.
