The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £2.76m for the year ended 31 March 2026, driven by significant investment gains of £2.23m, although the underlying operating result was a deficit of £6.74m due to funding gaps in social care costs. The trustees confirm that free reserves of £19.05m are at an appropriate level, exceeding the stated policy target of three to six months of forecast expenditure, and consider there to be adequate resources to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months.
