The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased to £433,639, a rise of £37,684 from the previous year, driven by a surplus on charitable activities. The trustees have adopted a reserves policy to hold at least £140,000 to mitigate cash flow risks associated with delayed Student Finance England payments and recruitment volatility. While the charity is currently above its stated minimum reserves target, the trustees note that recruitment for future cycles is predicted to be low, potentially leading to deficits.
