The accounts state that total income decreased by 5% to £68,627, while expenditure fell by 3% to £58,759, resulting in a surplus for the year. However, the charity holds very low unrestricted reserves of £1,900, which is significantly below the trustees' stated policy target of three months' expenditure. The charity also carries substantial liabilities, including a £60,000 long-term building loan and short-term creditors, though the trustees maintain there are no material uncertainties regarding its ability to continue as a going concern.
