What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy

“These corrections meant the General fund dropped to just over £2,000 at the end of 2025. As the General fund had been £8,000 at the start of the year, unfortunately, £6,000 of the share top up payment effectively came from there.”
