What the accounts disclose

Reserves position: below the charity's own stated reserves policy (held: £120k; policy: three months of unrestricted expenditure)
“Unrestricted reserves totalled £120,453 (excluding tangible fixed assets) at 31st March 2025 (2024: £66,436) and this amount continues to be restrained by the rapidly increasing costs of providing care together with the need to constantly upgrade the fixtures and fittings within the Home. It is still our stated intention to increase the unrestricted reserves to cover 3 months employment, management and administration costs.” — page 6
