The accounts state that reserves are currently lower than the organisation's policy target due to increased expenditure in staffing, utilities, and core running costs. The trustees are committed to growing financial resilience through increased activity and fees, noting that fee income has risen to nearly £50k. The charity continues to operate with over 100 volunteers and a waiting list of over 60 participants.
