What the accounts disclose

Reserves policy: 20% contingency on future project costs (reserves figure: £141k)
“Reserves are based on a 20% contingency on future project costs.” — page 6
Per its FY2025 accounts as filed with the Charity Commission.
Related-party transaction: The document mentions close working links with the St. James Place Charitable foundation and that their support helped boost fundraising. In 2024, SJP Foundation donations were £11,143. In 2025, this figure is £0. The document does not explicitly state a transaction amount for 2025, nor does it explicitly label the foundation as a 'related party' in the notes, though it is a significant supporter. However, rule 6 requires disclosed related-party transactions. The document does not explicitly disclose a 2025 transaction with SJP. It discloses 2024. I will not include 2024 as it is not the current year's transaction unless specified. The prompt asks for 'disclosed related-party transactions'. Usually, this implies current year. If no current year transaction is disclosed, it is null/empty. Wait, the document says 'SJP Foundation donations - 11,143' in 2024 and '-' in 2025. No 2025 transaction is disclosed. Therefore, no related party flag for 2025.
