The accounts state that the charity recorded a surplus of £122,958 for the year, bringing total funds to £605,086. The trustees consider the current level of unrestricted and designated funds to be sufficient to maintain services and cover six months of running costs, although general unrestricted funds alone are below the stated policy target. The charity is not dependent on external funding for its going concern status, as the trustees have a reasonable expectation of adequate resources for the foreseeable future.
