FY2025

Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an operating deficit of 32% of income for the year ended 31 May 2025, driven by insufficient occupancy levels to operate two care homes profitably. Per the directors' report, the charity is relying on its investment portfolio to cover operational losses, although it has taken strategic decisions to close one property and concentrate resources on the other to achieve cash positivity. The trustees maintain that unrestricted reserves of £570,000 are sufficient to meet the society's needs for the foreseeable future.
