Costs and funding

It will cost over £14.7 million to run our services in 2026/2027.

Contracted services from the NHS are budgeted at £7.4 million.

With the help of their community, we need to raise over £7.3 million through donations, which includes the ‘Protect Our Care’ campaign, fundraising activities, retail sales, The Education and Conference Centre and Bistro. If we fail to meet this target the difference will, reluctantly, have to be taken from our limited reserves.

Sustaining services for people in our community is our focus and therefore we are extremely grateful to everyone who demonstrates their dedication, commitment and generosity and helps protect our reserves for the future.
