Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group reported an operating deficit of £85,000 for the year ended 31 March 2025, significantly improved from the previous year's deficit, largely due to a £1.29 million profit from the sale of properties. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves decreased slightly from £6.1 million to £6.0 million, and cash reserves fell below the stated policy target of two months' operating costs, though the charity maintains no long-term debt.
