The accounts state that the charity reported a total deficit of £6,501 for the year, driven by restricted spending priorities, although unrestricted funds achieved a small surplus. The trustees note that unrestricted expenditure was 7.1% over budget due to agreed roof repairs, but this was offset by additional gifts and legacies. The charity holds significant unrestricted reserves of £95,738, providing a buffer against the identified need for further internal redecoration and space creation.
