Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £48,113, an increase from the previous year, with the Treasurer noting that income exceeded expenditure for the second consecutive year. However, the trustees report that the first six months of the new financial year saw expenditure exceed income by £3,600, driven by rising costs and a lack of fundraising activity. The charity remains financially stable but faces challenges regarding future rent increases and staff recruitment.
