The accounts state that the charity generated a surplus of £3,826 for the year ended 31 March 2025, with total income of £26,164 and total expenditure of £26,748. Free/unrestricted reserves (represented by bank balances) increased from £16,617 to £16,033? No, the balance sheet shows cash and bank balances at 31 March 2025 as £16,033, down from £16,617 at 1 April 2024. Wait, Income 26,164 - Expenditure 26,748 = -584. But the balance sheet shows a decrease in cash from 16,617 to 16,033, a drop of 584. So the surplus/deficit matches the cash flow. The reserves are £16,033. The document does not state a reserves policy target.
