Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £71 for the year ended 31 March 2025, reversing a deficit from the prior year. However, total funds remain in a deficit position of £28,252, largely due to significant prior-year refurbishment costs and increased staff expenses. The trustees believe that implemented cost reductions and ongoing local council funding will remedy the deficit in future years.
