The accounts state that the charity's financial health remains good, with total unrestricted reserves of £76,290 and a net current asset position of £53,536. However, the trustees note that reserves are lower than the previous year due to capital expenditure on a new electric van and building improvements, and they highlight uncertainty regarding the renewal of a major grant from the Local Community Fund.
