Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's annual revenue expenditure generally exceeds its income, with the variance being borne by Sheffield City Council rather than carried forward. The trustees report that no specific unrestricted charity reserves are deemed necessary because the charity is managed and funded by the Council. Total funds increased to £3,759,211, though these are almost entirely tied up in fixed assets and investments.
