Financial health, per FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a deficit of £296,650 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in total funds decreasing to £882,571. The Trustees note that they have run a planned deficit for the past two years and identify significant uncertainty over future income, particularly as major grant funding from Trussell is winding down. Despite these risks, the auditors confirmed that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate with no material uncertainties identified.
