The accounts state that unrestricted funds increased to £396,633, while restricted funds dropped sharply to £117,963 due to spending from the Murals Fund. The trustees report that the current level of free reserves represents 4.72 months of expenditure, which is below the stated policy target of 5 to 12 months.
