Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net deficit of £265 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds of -£265. The trustees attribute this near break-even position to significant transition and stabilisation efforts, including improved contract costing and recovery of historic underpayments. While the charity aims to build reserves equivalent to three months of operating expenditure, current unrestricted reserves are limited and negative.
