Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing resource of £33,025 for the year, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted accumulated funds from £10,477 to £16,197 (note: the balance sheet shows an increase in total funds from 10,477 to 16,197, but the SOFA shows a surplus of 5,720 added to 10,477 to get 16,197. Wait, SOFA says Net incoming resources 5,720. Note 4 says Surplus for the year 5,720. The text says 'net outgoing resources... of £33,025' which is incoming. The expenditure was 27,305. 33,025 - 27,305 = 5,720. The text says 'net outgoing resources for the year of a revenue nature of £33,025' which is confusing phrasing for incoming resources. However, the SOFA clearly lists 'Incoming resources' as 33,025 and 'Resources expended' as (27,305) leading to 'Net incoming resources' of 5,720. The health narrative should reflect the surplus and adequate reserves. The charity has unrestricted reserves of £16,197 and the trustees consider assets adequate to fulfil obligations.
