Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is in an acceptable financial position, though it notes that securing public sector funding is becoming increasingly challenging. The trustees highlight that while medium-term funding is agreed, longer-term financial agreements are still required for security. Reserves are held to ensure the charity can meet its legal duty to pay debts in the event of closure.
