Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total unrestricted reserves decreased from £5,084 to £5,084 (note: SOFA shows unrestricted funds carried forward as £22,966 but Balance Sheet shows Unrestricted funds as £5,084 in 2025 vs 2024? Let's re-read Balance Sheet. 2025 Unrestricted: 5,084. 2024 Unrestricted: 5,084. Wait, SOFA says Total funds carried forward unrestricted is 22,966. Balance sheet says Unrestricted funds 2025 is 5,084. There is a discrepancy in the provided text or my reading. Let's look at Balance Sheet again. 2025 Unrestricted: 5,084. 2024 Unrestricted: 5,084. SOFA: Total funds carried forward Unrestricted: 22,966. This is a contradiction in the source text. I must stick to what is explicitly stated. The Balance Sheet lists Unrestricted funds as £5,084 for 2025. The SOFA lists Total funds carried forward Unrestricted as £22,966. I will use the Balance Sheet figure for reserves as it is the statement of financial position. The charity reports net current assets of £46,903 and total net assets of £47,700. The trustees state they are confident the organization will continue its activities post-pandemic.
