Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that free reserves of £41,187 are significantly below the Trustees' stated minimum policy target of £350,000. The auditor has identified a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing dependence on annual grant funding and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. Despite these risks, the Trustees maintain that adequate funding exists for at least 12 months, supported by expected longer-term commitments from local councils and the completion of a pension deficit repayment plan.
