The accounts state that the charity ended the year with a net surplus of £21,049, bringing total cash funds to £66,032. The trustees have reviewed reserves and decided to maintain a target level of £40,000, which is currently exceeded by the actual unrestricted cash position. The filing notes that the swimming pool is at the end of its life and requires significant future investment, but current resources are deemed adequate for ongoing operations.
