The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £80,717 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £760,925 to £680,208. The trustees note that the deficit reflects the use of funds received in previous years and that the charity continues to operate in a changing environment shaped by rising costs and pressure on funding. Despite the deficit, the charity holds unrestricted reserves of £116,944, which the trustees acknowledge do not currently meet their policy target of six months of expenditure.
