The accounts state that the charity holds total funds of £4,135,413, comprising an expendable endowment fund of £4,127,672 and unrestricted funds of £7,741. The trustees consider it acceptable to hold low levels of unrestricted funds because the endowment is expendable, and the balance fluctuates depending on grant needs.
