Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity's regular activities do not cover all outgoings, resulting in a net income surplus for the year but a reduction in reserves. The trustees note that reserves are below their stated target of £100,000, having fallen to just over £50,000 due to costs associated with moving to a new centre. Despite this, the trustees consider the reserves to remain relatively healthy and well over £50,000.
