Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity ceased substantive trading activities following a merger on 1 June 2024, resulting in a nil balance sheet position as all assets and liabilities were transferred to the new entity. The reported deficit for the truncated two-month trading period was driven by fixed operating costs against a reduced income base, but the charity's viability is not in question as it has been fully integrated into the successor organisation.
