Financial health, per its FY2022 accounts

The accounts state that total funds decreased from £5,809,400 to £6,582,612 (note: text shows increase in total funds carried forward to 6,582,612 but unrestricted decreased; however, the text explicitly states 'Total funds at 31 December 2022... 6,582,612' in the summary table on page 4, while the balance sheet shows 6,582,612. Wait, page 4 says 'Total funds at 31 December 2022... 6,582,612'. Page 12 Balance Sheet shows Total Funds 6,582,612. The text on page 5 says 'The Fund balance at 31st December 2022 stood at £5,582,612'. There is a discrepancy in the OCR text between page 4/12 (6.5m) and page 5 (5.5m). I will use the Balance Sheet figure of £6,582,612 as the primary source for 'Total Funds', but note the unrestricted funds are £6,195,538. The charity is entirely dependent on voluntary contributions and experienced reduced income from the Greyhound Racing Industry. The trustees report that the charity is in a strong position to increase homing when the operating environment is conducive, despite post-pandemic financial instability.
