What the accounts disclose
“Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £159,763 (2024: £242,573). This represents a significant decrease compared to the previous year, largely due to a reduction in donations and legacies, which fell from £219,125 to £129,635.” — page 6
“It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on the general unrestricted funds (excluding property) which equates to approximately three months' worth of unrestricted payments as contingency against unforeseen situations.” — page 7
