Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a £4.3m deficit for the year ended 31 March 2025, a reduction from the previous year's £9.2m deficit, driven by a turnaround programme that reduced agency costs and central overheads. Per the trustees' report, unrestricted reserves are in a deficit position of £10.5m, falling below the stated policy target of three months' payroll (£16.2m), although designated property assets of £39.0m provide additional liquidity. The trustees and auditors have identified a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to secure a £10m long-term loan before existing facilities are exhausted, casting significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern.
