Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The charity's unrestricted reserves fell to £73,388 at year-end, which the trustees state is below their policy target of maintaining a surplus around the average annual income figure. Total income decreased significantly from £167,460 to £125,033, primarily due to a reduction in the allocation received from the Sheffield Church Burgesses Trust. Despite this drop in income and a corresponding decrease in net assets, the trustees maintain that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
