What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: £40,000 (held: £156k)
The Trust’s policy of conservative and careful financial management, which includes the retention of one year's ‘running costs’ (£25,000) for reaction to an emergency situation continues. This ‘reserve’ value has not been increased over time and hence a decision was made to increase the size of the reserve to £40,000 and this has been actioned during 2025. — page 4
