Total expenditure was £116,056, resulting in a net surplus and total reserves of £104,289, of which £18,046 were unrestricted.

What the accounts disclose
Governance: Independent examiner noted quality of accounting records was poor, stating: 'I was not provided with any supporting paperwork or a complete list of transactions. It was therefore impossible for me to test the detailed accuracy of fund income and expenditure or whether any income and expenditure had been netted off.'
“However, I do need to draw attention to the quality of the accounting records. Whilst they did agree with the bank statements, I was not provided with any supporting paperwork or a complete list of transactions. It was therefore impossible for me to test the detailed accuracy of fund income and expenditure or whether any income and expenditure had been netted off.” — page 17
