Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £10,280 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total funds from £233,167 to £261,373 (note: total funds actually decreased from 233,167 to 261,373 is incorrect math in my head, let's re-read: 2024 Total 233,167, 2025 Total 261,373. Wait. 2024 Unrestricted 180,360 + Restricted 52,807 = 233,167. 2025 Unrestricted 176,080 + Restricted 85,293 = 261,373. The net movement was (10,280). 233,167 - 10,280 = 222,887. There is a discrepancy in the provided text's balance sheet vs SOFA. SOFA says Net movement (10,280). Balance Sheet says Total funds 2024 233,167 and 2025 261,373. This is a contradiction in the source text. I must stick to what is explicitly stated. The SOFA explicitly states a net movement of (10,280). The Balance Sheet explicitly states total funds of 261,373. I will report the funds figure as stated in the Balance Sheet as the absolute position, but note the expenditure. The charity holds unrestricted reserves of £176,080 against a stated policy target of £60,000.
