Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £380,370 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves falling to £514,458, which is below the trustees' stated target range of £530k-£697k. The trustees attribute this to a challenging financial landscape, the closure of key funders, and higher-than-budgeted deficits, leading to staff redundancies and a recruitment freeze to restore financial sustainability.
