The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £27,161, exceeding the trustees' stated policy target of £20,000. However, the trustees note that the loss of a grant from the London Borough of Lewisham has impacted the future of the Ageing Well in Lewisham project, creating a dependency on ad-hoc grants that could impact reserves.
