Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity holds nil unrestricted reserves due to a lack of funds. While the trustees report a more stable position following a five-year grant from Liverpool City Council, they note continued uncertainty regarding central government funding for non-statutory youth work. The principal risk identified is a lack of funding, which leaves the charity vulnerable to shocks despite its ability to continue delivering quality work.
