The accounts state that the charity's unrestricted reserves have decreased by over £12,500 in 2023, with the Treasurer warning that reserves may be depleted by a further £20,000 in 2024 if current trends continue. Despite this, the charity maintains a surplus of liquid unrestricted funds (£49,933) which exceeds its stated policy target of four months' unrestricted expenses (circa £30,000). The independent examiner confirmed that the accounts present a true and fair view in accordance with accounting records, with no matters requiring further attention.
