The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a deficit of £5,702, reducing its closing balance to £10,447 from £16,149 at the start of the year. The Trustees' Report attributes significant operational challenges to major building works that restricted premises use and adversely impacted income. Despite receiving grants and donations, total payments exceeded receipts, resulting in a net decrease in resources.
