The accounts state that the charity maintained financial reserves of £31,000, which the trustees designed to cover nine months of free school meals, four months of social worker wages, and immediate cash flow needs. The trustees reviewed this reserves policy in September 2024 and maintained these levels to safeguard beneficiaries against unplanned income reductions.
