Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £1,767,874 for the year ended 31 December 2025, driven by significant one-off establishment funding. However, the trustees clarify that free reserves were only £216,210, as the surplus was largely tied up in fixed assets and a long-term building deposit. The charity's going concern status is supported by confirmed continuing financial support from its primary funder, the Kamel Lazaar Foundation, through 2030.
