The accounts state that total income increased to £223,760 while total expenditure was £219,214, resulting in a net surplus for the year. However, unrestricted reserves fell to a negative £2,075, a situation the trustees attribute to a delay in receiving unrestricted funds which were subsequently received in early 2025.
