The accounts state that the charity achieved an unrestricted surplus of £9,710 for the year ended 30 April 2025, resulting in unrestricted reserves of £90,015. Per the trustees' report, these reserves are slightly above the stated policy target range of £62,000 to £82,000, providing a modest degree of additional contingency. The trustees note that the current funding climate is harder than ever and that the ending of multi-year grants presents a risk to ongoing core funding.
