Charity to shut in July despite government funding deal, citing £100,000 annual shortfall and unsustainable long-term model

In 2022, the government agreed a five-year funding deal with support decreasing year-on-year, giving the charity time to explore long-term options.
Estimates suggest several thousand residents could be affected by the closure.
