The accounts state that expenditure exceeded income for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves from £35,504.06 to £29,070.04.

Despite the deficit, the charity maintains a cash balance of £29,070.04 and states it is mindful of its ability to continue funding its primary role until the next financial year.
