The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a surplus for the first time since before the pandemic, driven by increased voluntary giving and recovered income from the Trinity Community Centre and Grapevine magazine. The trustees report that unrestricted reserves of approximately £34,000 are currently below their stated policy target of £65,000 (six months' expenditure), but they are confident in rebuilding reserves over the coming years.
