The accounts state that the charity reported an unrestricted deficit of £5,840 for the year, contributing to a total net asset decrease from £1,060,286 to £1,049,173. However, the trustees' report indicates that free reserves of £56,926 remain considerably higher than the stated policy target of three months' unrestricted payments.
