What the accounts disclose
“The level of free reserves at 30 September 2025 amounts to£2,250,226. This amount is the result of the calculation of the total funds of the charity minus the restricted funds and the designated tangible fixed assets that are mentioned in the paragraph below (2024 £2,252,829). This has fallen from approximately 7.5 months’ expenditure on unrestricted funds in 2024 to 6.9 months £2,252,829 and the intention is to try and increase these reserves as finances allow.” — page 12
