The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus for the year, with unrestricted funds increasing to £535,558. However, the trustees note that most assets are tied up in the church building and manse, leaving free reserves of £13,000 which meet the stated policy target of two months' expenditure. While the charity has no surplus cash reserves, it reports a potential cash deficit for the coming year due to loan repayments, which the finance team will monitor carefully.
