The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus of £9,766, resulting in total unrestricted reserves of £417. However, the independent examiner's report discloses a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, noting insufficient evidence that reserves will be sufficient for the next 12 months.
