The accounts state that the charity generated a net expenditure of £17,902 for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves to £156,596. The trustees report that this level of reserves is in the region of two years' worth of regular expenditure, which they believe is appropriate given the volatility of income since the pandemic. The charity has no staff and relies on grants, donations, and fundraising events, with one major event running at a deficit in the current year.
