What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £34k)

“The group was holding £946 of parent money related to future camping trips on 28th February 2025. This is included in the above figures and means our actual reserves were £34,216.” — page 1

Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.

Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor

“The modest surplus this year helps us to recover our long-term reserves following the significant hit of boiler replacement in FY22/23. To conclude, the group remains in a solid financial position currently, but with significant risks which could lead to significant financial outlay, we must continue to be prudent.” — page 2
