The trustees note that unrestricted reserves are below their policy target of three months of expenditure, which they consider not unusual for a charity funded mainly through restricted grants. The organization is preparing for a merger with Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity, with final asset transfers planned for the coming period.
