The accounts state that unrestricted reserves were £40,396 at year-end, which the trustees consider to be in excess of their policy target of three months of normal running costs. The charity reported a net decrease in funds of £8,922 for the year, primarily due to increased charitable expenditure and investment outflows, yet maintains sufficient cash resources to meet future obligations.
