Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity reported a deficit on operations of £42,645, which more than halved its unrestricted reserves to £42,651. However, the trustees state there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing a premium received from a property lease surrender that covers the deficit. The charity is currently in a transitional period while it deliberates on its future strategy.
