What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £136k; policy: to ensure the charity can continue its core activities in the event of unexpected financial challenges or interruptions to income. Reserves are held to provide stability, meet essential running costs such as rent, insurance, and community events, and to safeguard the charity’s ability to respond to urgent community needs.)

All funds received are allocated directly to ongoing projects and activities. The trustees recognise the importance of building a reserve and intend to develop a strategy to achieve this in the coming year.”
