The accounts state that total resources expended in the year (£136,159) exceeded total income (£164,140 is the sum of grants and donations, but the text explicitly states total income was £75,007 from donations *in addition* to grants, implying a potential discrepancy or specific classification; however, the text explicitly states 'Total resources expended... totalled £136,159' and 'charity's total income in 2024 amounted to £75,007' from donations plus grants. The net deficit is significant. The trustees report that adequate assets are available to fulfill obligations, indicating no material uncertainty regarding going concern despite the operational deficit.
