Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £591,107 for the year, driven by government policy changes regarding VAT and business rates, as well as a significant non-cash pension provision. Despite this deficit, the charity maintains a strong liquidity position with unrestricted reserves of £5,342,891 and cash reserves representing 23.07% of income, which the governors consider sufficient to meet liabilities as they fall due.
