Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity incurred a deficit of £28,112 for the year, reducing its unrestricted funds to £3,255,232. The trustees note a material dependency on securing new loan facilities to replace a £1.9 million Barclays Bank loan that fell due in November 2024, warning that failure to do so would force the sale of charity properties. Despite this risk, the trustees and auditors maintain that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.
