Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit for the year, primarily due to payment processing issues with West Northants Council and increased void rooms. Despite this, the trustees consider these temporary issues and believe improvements will be shown in subsequent years, noting that free reserves are sufficient to cover six months of expenditure.
