The accounts state that unrestricted reserves stood at £134,182, a decrease from the previous year's £145,698. The trustees note that while the charity remains able to meet salary commitments, financial pressure from rising costs makes the current position 'not considered ideal in the longer term.' The charity relies on a mix of generated funds, grants, and charitable activity income to sustain its operations.
