The accounts state that the charity made a net profit of £21,104 for the year ended 31 August 2025, with unrestricted reserves held in the current account and a separate reserves account totaling £106,690.94. The trustees aim to hold three months of running costs in the current account to cover redundancies, though they note this is currently overstated due to a member resignation. The independent examiner confirmed that no material matters came to their attention that would cause them to believe the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
