The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £132,505, which the trustees consider prudent given the unpredictable nature of fundraising and the need to cover essential running costs for three to six months. The charity reported a net income increase to £168,705, driven by a rise in donations and legacies to over £246,000, while reducing debtors significantly. The trustees confirmed the charity can continue as a going concern, supported by existing agreements and new opportunities.
