Financial health, per FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total incoming resources increased to £3.546m, primarily driven by higher Department for Communities grants, while total outgoing resources decreased slightly to £3.915m. Despite this, the charity reported a net deficit for the year, resulting in a decrease in total accumulated funds from £12.476m to £12.434m. The Trustees confirm the organisation remains a going concern with unrestricted reserves of £4.592m.
