Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £12,822 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with unrestricted reserves (Accumulated Fund) standing at £114,112. The trustees note that these reserves are sufficient to protect the centre against predictable spend or loss of income for 2 years. However, the narrative highlights a dependency on Swansea Council for utility supplements and a lack of willingness from the council to implement cost-saving infrastructure changes.
