The accounts state that net assets decreased from £86,079.69 to £71,432.92 due to a net expenditure of £14,646.77 against income of £26,520.57. The trustees note that the cancellation of the Summer Fayre created a shortfall, prompting a strategic review to build up reserves to cover future years when donations may be harder to secure.
