Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity made a healthy surplus of £227,000, helping to recover from previous losses and increasing unrestricted reserves. However, the trustees note that the financial future remains uncertain due to the challenge of meeting national living wage rises against public sector funding constraints. The charity also manages a significant pension deficit of £2,126,000, which is being addressed through an agreed repayment plan.
