Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds stood at £1,341,986 at the year end, but funds deployed in premises and equipment left no free reserves. The trustees consider that reserves at a level equivalent to three to six months' expenditure have been maintained throughout the year, despite the difficulty in building them up because the centre is not subsidised by the local council.
