Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that unrestricted costs exceeded unrestricted income, resulting in a net movement loss of £1,654 for the year. Free reserves decreased to £26,955, which is below the trustees' stated target of £30,000, primarily due to the urgent replacement of a boiler. Despite this dip, the trustees maintain that the charity remains a going concern supported by planned fee increases and cost reductions.
