The accounts state that the charity operated at a net deficit of £17,068 for the year, resulting in a significant reduction of total net assets from £24,346 to £7,278. The trustees note that reserves are held to ensure essential immediate work can be done, but the charity has no committed expenditure and only spends money when sums have been raised for specific work. The financial position is characterized by a reliance on grants and donations to fund ongoing projects such as boiler replacements and grounds maintenance.
