The accounts state that the charity held unrestricted reserves of £75,915, which meets the trustees' policy target of six months' running costs. However, the financial position is explicitly described as dependent on the continuing support of the parent charity, The Spiritans, who provided £159,175 in support during the year. The trustees acknowledge that financial independence remains a persistent concern due to challenges in securing consistent payments from schools.
