Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity is operating at a significant deficit, with total expenditure of £600,418 exceeding total income of £217,075 for the year. The trustees report that current reserves are insufficient to cover ongoing costs and predict they will only provide services for a further 5-6 years unless the financial situation improves. Consequently, the charity is dependent on drawing down its unrestricted reserves to meet its commitments.
