Financial health, per its FY2026 accounts

The accounts state that the charity achieved a net surplus of £149,054 for the year ended 31 March 2026, with total unrestricted free reserves (excluding tangible fixed assets) standing at £462,991. The auditors confirmed that the financial statements give a true and fair view and identified no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the trustees note a heightened risk to future funding sustainability due to the end of key grant streams and financial pressures on local authority partners.
