Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity's financial statements are prepared on a basis other than going concern due to an agreed-in-principle merger with Croydon Voluntary Action, which will result in the charity ceasing to trade as a separate legal entity. Despite this planned dissolution, the charity held unrestricted reserves of £9,135,165, which significantly exceed its stated policy commitment of £2,700,000. The accounts report a net movement in funds of £(272,384) for the year, primarily driven by a decrease in investment dividend income.
