The accounts state that the charity ended the financial year with a deficit of £17,000. However, the trustees report that this is mitigated by unrestricted reserves of £65,616, which they describe as a healthy level representing 90% of the year's outgoings. The filing confirms there are no uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
