Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a surplus for the year of £1.4 million, supported by a net asset base of £31.1 million. However, the Board reports an exceptional net current liabilities position of £5.1 million at year-end, primarily due to £6.4 million of loans maturing in August 2025, though a revolving credit facility has been secured to cover this tranche. The trustees confirm the organization has adequate resources and no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months.
