The accounts state that total funds decreased from £4,390k to £4,182k due to a net loss on investments and expenditure exceeding income from charitable activities. Unrestricted reserves stood at £740k at year-end, which the Trustees consider sufficient to meet their policy target of covering 12 months of programme services. The charity maintains adequate resources to continue as a going concern with no material uncertainties identified.
