The accounts state that unrestricted funds totalled £187,752, an increase from the previous year's £179,077. The trustees report a reserves policy to keep sufficient funds to protect against income falls or expenditure increases, with a long-term goal of covering eventual building dilapidation costs. The independent examiner confirmed that no matters came to their attention giving cause to believe the financial statements were materially non-compliant.
