"In November 2024 the Trust called an extraordinary Board meeting, at which the worsening financial position of the charity was set out, and Trustees agreed to ask the Council to explore the option of bringing the service back in-house. The assessment of the Board was that taking into account the current capacity of the Board and the deteriorating financial position there was not a realistic option of delivering their objectives in accordance with the SLA, and that the team at North Yorkshire would be in a better position to do so."

"The current payment to SMCCT for the delivery of services as set out in the SLA is £491,100, per annum for financial year 2024-25. The SLA payment rises annually by the same percentage increase in CPI in the preceding 12-month period. CPI to end of December 2024 was 2.5% so estimated SLA for financial year 2025-26 would be £503,377. The current SLA agreement runs until 31 December 2038."
