The accounts state that the charity experienced a substantial deficit of £8,567.64 for the year, primarily due to a four-month vacancy in the Literature post which prevented sales. However, the trustees note that the role has been filled and income has since rebalanced the loss, demonstrating responsive financial management. The charity holds cash reserves of £10,148.02, which exceeds its stated policy target of approximately £4,000 (equivalent to four months of running costs).
