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.
What the accounts disclose
“In 23/24 the council kindly supplemented our utility bills to partially offset the significant increase in the year. In 24/25 utility unit costs reduced by about 40%, but, with no council supplement, rose from £10,447 to £12,723.” — page 1
