Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group reported a net expenditure of £126,394 for the year, a significant shift from the previous year's net income, largely due to the absence of legacy income which had previously boosted results. Despite this, the trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by prudent financial forecasting and the sale of peripheral buildings to meet liabilities.
