Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that expenditure exceeded income by nearly £20,000 for the year ended 30 September 2025, resulting in a net decrease in funds. The trustees acknowledge that reserves are low and aim to build them up to a target equivalent to 26 weeks of expenditure. The charity faces challenges regarding building investment and rising costs, relying heavily on volunteers and a charity shop for income.
