What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: appropriate level of reserves to protect against fluctuating levels of income and to provide ongoing repairs and improvements to the buildings (held: £218k)
“The trustees wish to maintain an appropriate level of reserves to protect against fluctuating levels of income and to provide ongoing repairs and improvements to the buildings.” — page 4
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Going concern: noted by the trustees or auditor
“We remain mindful that the final year of our five-year rental payment is presented within the accounts with no accruals within the leasing agreement that further improves our capital position. Whilst we are hopeful, after discussions with Nottingham County Council, we will receive another five-year lease, we still await official confirmation – when we do, this will be presented as another accrual in next year’s accounts.” — page 1
